Laptop bag?

[ian]

Looking for something I can store my 13' laptop and ipad in. also something that has room for a mini flashlight, chargers, etc... would like it to fit in the cockpit also. I've got these two in mind, looking for opinions and welcome suggestions....will be going to compass so a 170/175 cockpit. Thanks!

I'm using a Strong Bags summit, which has been great. I can fit the charts, ipad and laptop in it no problem.

Great bag, and all you need for a flight kit and laptop bag.

Also look at the luggage works aurora tote I believe is the name. Will look up later. Fits everything but looks like we might not need to fit everything in a few months...

FIFY. They're already showing up in the wild.

Will the strong bags only fit a 13 inch or will it also fit a 15 inch laptop?

I've got a 13, but I can't imagine it won't fit a 15 also

i like the aurora but it says it only has a dedicated ipad pocket....not so sure how comfortable i'd feel putting my laptop in one of those file folders....

jtrain thanks...looking into that one also now.

I really like Brenthaven bags. Excellent quality. I'm not sure, but I believe Brenthaven was founded by an airline pilot as well.

Love my BrightLine bag. Little more pricey, but expandable as needed. And plenty of room to store stuff in.

This configuration looks like what you would be looking for.

Neat bag. Too bad no 15in version.

Correct, iPads are being distributed to selected Captains and First Officers for the testing phase.

I go an amazing bag from Ross that has been much better than my 10 other bags I've had in the past. When I get home I'll get the name. Has compartments for everything and fits behind the seat in the King air.

Want is the key word. Think about the training that is involved and make your timeline accordingly. There have been several rumors floated anout a start date but the program needs to be signed off and implemented. This takes time and training cycles. Maybe they can train via memo but I think this might be a bit different.

There's more to that.
