FACT FILE: AE-10 Knee PADD
This item of a pilot's gear is essentially a wider and flatter
version of the standard PADD issued by STARFLEET, with bigger buttons for
use with gloves. It is strapped to the pilots thigh, where it can be easily
seen during flight. It is used to record critical navigation instructions,
pre-flight checklists, communication code frequencies and other pieces
of important information. During flight, it records the pilot's biological
data and any conversation inside the cockpit of the aircraft. This data
often proves valuable to rescue crews or accident investigators.
