Ahhh, SIMPLICITY... like the hard flight cases airline pilots use. No maze of compartments, just efficient, sensible storage. Maybe that's why a major US airline flight training academy chose Bag1 as standard issue for their students.
We call it a Cockpit Bag, designed and built in the USA by AEROPhoenix to be simple, practical, and cockpit friendly. Perhaps it's aBrighter idea, without a maze of compartments. Enjoy the simplicity of well thought out storage, just right for most pilots.
No fluff, just stuff features:
A divider adjustable end pocket will hold a large water bottle and tranceiver for example, or simply remove the velcroed divider to use the whole compartment for a second headset.
The full-width side pockets are each velcroed rather than zippered, ideal for quick, easy opening when the bag is at far reach. The outer flapped pocket houses (non-elastic) "full-height" easy-use holders for pens, pencils, or small flashlight, as well as a zippered valuables pouch.
Without bulky wide-side compartments, this compact, yet surprisingly large capacity bag, conveniently fits between cockpit seats.
A single inside, webbed divider offers organizational flexibility, without the complexity of multiple dividers, nor the awkwardness of velcroed ones. If not needed, it instantly lays flat against the inside wall.
The bag is tall enough to hold the largest of common aviation text books, and wide enough to fit a long tri-fold knee board or standard plotter in the outside pouches.
Padded shoulder strap, Carabiner with strap and key ring are included.
Made of 1000 Denier Nylon, the main compartment measures 12.5"L x 7"W x 10.5"H, plus 2 full height & width 3" deep, end headset/sundry pockets.
USA built, with some imported components.
An actual review from a customer's website:
"The first bag I have owned that stores everything I need, and every compartment in easily accesed with one hand.
This bag is exactly what I was looking for. I have owned several bags from different brands and all were either too wide or complicated with hidden pockets inside pockets. I am 6'3" and fly a Twin Otter, the bag I bring onboard needs to fit under my legs and carry all my gear. Unlike other bags that grow in width by adding additional compartments, this one grew in length. The sidepockets are great for storing headset and even water bottles upright. The main compartment stores my manuals and even my kneeboard upright making them easily accesible in flight. The plane I fly has no autopilot and all compartments in this bag are easily accessed with one hand. It even fits a change of clothes for the unexpected layover. Extremely well designed and perfectly built, much like the Twin Otter itself!"
