Kneeboard Plus app icon

Flight training records,
without the paperwork.

The debrief app for independent flight instructors and their students.

Version 2.0 Private · Instrument · Commercial · Multi-Engine iPhone & iPad

After a lesson, just talk through how it went. Kneeboard Plus's AI turns your spoken debrief into a structured training record — skills practiced, proficiency, areas to improve, homework — mapped to the FAA ACS for the rating you're actually flying. Your student sees their progress the moment you save it.

Coming soon to the App Store.

What's new in 2.0

Instrument, Commercial & Multi-Engine training

Every rating now has its own FAA-ACS-sourced skill catalog and ground-school topics — a student can train more than one at a time.

Endorsement tracking

Practical-test endorsements, plus recurring currency like the IPC and flight review, each with a valid-until date.

Redesigned for iPad

A real sidebar layout, full-width tables, and working landscape orientation — not a stretched iPhone screen.

30 days free, no card required

Every new instructor gets full access from the first launch. Subscribe only if you decide to keep going.

Everything the loop needs

Nothing a solo CFI doesn't already do — just made effortless.

Voice debrief → structured record

Speak naturally right after a lesson, the way you'd already explain it to the student. Kneeboard Plus transcribes it and uses AI to pull out skills practiced, a proficiency read on each, notes, and homework — you review and edit before anything is saved.

Every rating, one app

Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Engine each carry their own FAA-ACS-sourced skill and ground-topic catalog. A student can be training more than one at once — Kneeboard Plus tracks proficiency separately per rating, automatically.

A record that travels with the student

Progress, endorsements, and homework are owned by the student, not any one instructor. A student who trains with more than one CFI keeps their full history across all of them.

Ground & flight scheduling

A day-at-a-glance timeline for both sides — propose a ground lesson, block time, or subscribe to your club's existing calendar. Students see your open slots without ever seeing another student's details.

Endorsements & currency

Track practical-test endorsements alongside recurring currency items — IPC, flight review — each with its own valid-until date, right on the student's profile.

Shared resources

Hand a student a document, a video, or a link straight from the app — no separate file-sharing app, no lost email attachments.

A real iPad app

A genuine sidebar-based layout built for the bigger screen — full-width tables, working landscape orientation — alongside the same fast iPhone experience.

Built for one instructor, not a flight school

No scheduling software to learn, no institutional bloat, no seat licenses. Just the debrief loop a solo CFI already runs every lesson — made effortless.
