iFDR Panel Mount Series for Apple iPad Mini (1-4).

The iFDR Panel Mount for Apple iPad Mini is a new flush mounting system to easily dock and seamlessly integrate your existing iPad Mini into your aircraft instrument panel – giving it a clean, professional appearance in an easy to view position! Once installed, the iFDR mount allows your iPad to be docked in seconds, fully connected to power and audio with built-in cable ports. Removal is just as easy – just slide, push, and remove!

Compatible with all models of iPad Mini through Mini 4, the iFDR Panel Mount allows you to transform your new or existing panel* and use the most popular iPad for aviation in the cockpit, fully integrated with your instrument panel. Your charts and approach plates are in easy sight for reference and you can even use your iPad Mini as a small multi-function display with the many popular iOS aviation apps available.

Designed for General Aviation in mind.

The iFDR Panel Mount for iPad Mini was designed by aerospace engineers to perform in the unique environment of the cockpit. The spring actuated mounting cradle securely holds the iPad in place during the roughest of turbulence. The clean, flush mount has a shallow chassis allowing it to be easily installed in even the smallest of instrument panels*. Built-in ports for the Apple Lightning plug and a 3.5mm audio cable help keep cables safely and securely positioned behind the panel, allowing you the ability to connect to power, data, and audio without the cord mess.

Keep it cool.

As they are being used, iPads generate heat that can affect performance – resulting in a high-temperature shut down when you might need it most! Pilots have found this out the hard way when using a temporary mounting solution like Velcro to attach their unit to the instrument panel. The iFDR Panel Mount was designed with cooling in mind. Each mount has a 5/8” tapered hose / tube port built-in, allowing you to attach it to a standard avionics cooling fan. Each panel mounting tray features cooling channels to circulate air behind your iPad to keep it cool even under the heaviest of use.

Simple installation.

The iFDR Panel Mount is designed for easy installation in your panel. Each durable molded ABS plastic unit is self-contained and mounts with only four screws. Our installation drawings give you the exact panel cutout details and screw positions in either PDF or AutoCAD DXF for precise cuts. The iFDR Panel Mount for iPad Mini requires a 7.834" long and 5.679" high panel cutout and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.

Mount in Automobiles, Boats, RVs, and Displays too!
