How to Use Your Sky Board

Welcome to Sky Board — the paper-free writing solution built for the flight deck. Follow the instructions below for your specific model.

Sky Board Pro 2

Getting Started

  1. (If Battery isn’t Installed) Install the battery. The Sky Board Pro uses a CR2016 coin battery. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the board, insert the battery with the positive (+) side facing up, and close the compartment.
  2. Ready to write. No power button required. The 6.5" LCD display uses reflected light technology and requires no backlight or charging.

Writing

  • Use the included stylus to write directly on the screen with light, consistent pressure.
  • The eraser end of the stylus can also be used to clear the screen.

Erasing

  • Press the erase button on the back of the board to clear the entire screen instantly.
  • Alternatively, press the eraser end of the stylus lightly against the erase circle on the front.

Mounting

  • The included protective case that can mount to almost any yoke or tray table

Sky Board Mini

Getting Started

  1. (If Battery isn’t Installed) Install the battery. The Sky Board Mini uses a CR2025 coin battery. Open the battery compartment on the back, insert the battery with the positive (+) side facing up, and close the compartment.
  2. Ready to write. No power button required. The 4.5" LCD display uses reflected light technology — compact, lightweight, and always on.

Writing

  • Use the included stylus to write directly on the screen with light, consistent pressure.

Erasing

  • Press the erase button on the front of the board to clear the entire screen instantly.

Sky Board Duo

The Sky Board Duo features two independent 6.5" LCD screens, each with its own stylus and erase button.

Getting Started

  1. (If Battery isn’t Installed) Install batteries. Each screen has its own battery compartment on the bottom of each board. Insert CR2016 3V coin batteries into both compartments.
  2. Both screens are immediately ready for use — no pairing or setup required.

Writing & Erasing

  • Use each stylus independently on its corresponding screen.
  • Each screen has its own dedicated erase button on the back — erasing one screen does not affect the other.
  • Suggested use: jot taxi directions on one screen and copy your clearance on the other.

Sky Board Pro Stylus

  • Purpose-built for the Sky Board Pro and Sky Board Duo.
  • Write with the pointed tip and erase by pressing the flat bottom end against the erase circle on the front. 
  • Note: The included styluses in the Pro and Duo are not compatible with the Sky Board Stylus Tether. Use the dedicated Sky Board Pro Stylus accessory for tether compatibility.

_____________________________________________

Sky Board Universal Stylus

The perfect backup — always ready, never get caught without a stylus again.

  • Compatible with the Sky Board Pro, Sky Board Duo, and Sky Board Mini — one stylus that works across your entire Sky Board lineup.
  • Lightweight and easy to stow anywhere in the cockpit.
  • Write with the pointed tip.
  • Note: The Universal Stylus does not attach directly to any Sky Board.

Sky Light

Light up your flight deck. The Sky Light is a flexible, USB-powered cockpit light designed to work seamlessly with your Sky Board Pro or Sky Board Duo.

Setup

  1. Charge the Sky Light using the USB charger
  2. Position the flexible neck so the light illuminates your Sky Board or writing area.
  3. Cycle through the 3 brightness settings (low, medium, high) to find the right level for your phase of flight.
  • Ideal for night operations where overhead lighting isn’t available or preferred.
  • No additional power source required — fully USB-powered.

Sky Board Stylus Tether

Keep your stylus secured and always within reach during flight.

  • Attach one end of the tether to your stylus and the other to your Sky Board Pro/Duo battery compartment or the tether hole on the mini.
  • Compatible with tether-ready styluses — check your specific stylus model for compatibility.
  • Note: The styluses included with the Sky Board Pro and Duo are not compatible with the Stylus Tether. Use the Sky Board Pro Stylus (sold separately) for tether compatibility or thr universal stylus.

Tips for Cockpit Use

  • Keep your Sky Board in the protective case when not in use to prevent accidental erasing.
  • Write in firm, deliberate strokes — the LCD screen responds well to consistent pressure.
  • Avoid exposing the board to extreme temperatures for extended periods.
  • The screen does not emit light — ensure adequate cockpit lighting in low-visibility environments.

Battery Replacement

When your screen becomes difficult to write on or fails to retain markings, it may be time to replace the battery. Use a CR2016 (Pro/Duo) or CR2025 (Mini) coin battery. Available at most electronics or hardware stores.
