About Us

Meet Our Leader Mark Pestal
Pilot and innovator Mark Pestal founded AppStrap to create durable, affordable kneeboard mounts for pilots. He’s also the founder of AeroAngel, a nonprofit flying sick children to life-saving care.
Since 2011, AppStrap has been trusted by aviators around the world—including the U.S. military, NASA, charter operators, and major airlines. Our kneeboard mounts are designed to perform in the most demanding conditions, making them a go-to choice for military pilots who rely on secure, functional setups for mission-critical flights. Built for durability and ease of use, AppStrap products support modern cockpit technology, helping pilots stay focused and in control.
Beyond aviation, every purchase of an AppStrap product helps fund AeroAngel, the nonprofit founded by Mark Pestal. With 10% of our net profits donated since 2012, we’ve helped provide free private jet flights for seriously ill children to reach life-saving medical care. This partnership combines our passion for aviation with a mission to change lives—one flight at a time.
