Finally!!!  Episode #1 has arrived.   The long, hard, uphill trek is finally over.  It’s not exactly downhill from here, but it’s going to be a whole lot easier than it has been getting this episode produced: The way I envision these shows is that we will always spiral back to the basics.  All the stuff we, as pilots, use in the cockpit is important.  Here, I examine, and get a little frustrated, with kneeboards.  Every beginning pilot buys one, and the more advanced pilots often stop using them in favor of a pad of paper. Some day every cockpit will be glass panel, take notes, and kneeboards will seem quaint.  Until then, this episode looks at a few.
