Flight Outfitters Thrust 2.0 Sling Pack - FO-SLG017
The Flight Outfitters FO-SLG017 Thrust 2.0 Sling Pack is a compact sling-style pilot flight bag built for pilots who want maximum organization in one of the smallest cockpit-friendly bags you can carry. Reimagined with upgraded materials and improved pocket layout, this aviation bag is designed to ride comfortably at your side while still protecting your most expensive essentials, especially your headset and tablet. It is an ideal grab-and-go flight bag for pilots who fly light, prefer fast access in tighter cockpits, or want a streamlined option for flight training, weekend trips, and everyday travel.
The Thrust 2.0 stands out from traditional flight bags by using a sling pack carry style that keeps the bag stable and easy to access when moving between the hangar, ramp, and FBO. A dedicated padded tablet pocket helps safeguard an iPad or similar device for EFB use and flight planning, while a protected headset compartment keeps your headset secure and separated from other gear. Inside, multiple mesh pockets and elastic organizers help tame charging cords, adapters, backup batteries, and small accessories that typically end up loose in a larger pilot bag. The signature high-visibility orange interior makes it easier to spot small items quickly, especially during early departures or low-light operations.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The Thrust 2.0 Sling Pack features a unique sling-style design that positions the bag comfortably at your side, freeing up cockpit space and reducing bulk compared to traditional tote-style flight bags. Its compact profile is among the smallest flight bags pilots can carry, yet it still provides ample protective storage for essential gear. The sling design lets pilots move easily between the hangar, ramp, and cockpit without feeling weighed down. Its configurable shoulder strap also adds to its versatility for daily use beyond flying.
This flight bag includes a padded pocket sized for an iPad or similar tablet, making it ideal for protecting electronic flight bags (EFBs) and navigation devices. Its dedicated padded compartment helps guard against bumps and scratches during transport or in tight cockpit environments. This ensures your tablet stays secure alongside other essentials while flying or traveling.
Yes. The sling pack features a secured headset pocket with a buckle to keep your headset in place and separate from other items. This dedicated storage helps prevent headsets from rattling around or getting scratched during transit and daily use. Keeping headsets protected is especially important given their value and role in safe cockpit communication.
Inside the Thrust 2.0 Sling Pack are multiple mesh pockets and elastic organizers designed to manage charging cables, adapters, backup batteries, and other small flight accessories. Elastic loops and pen/pencil slots help keep items visible and orderly, which reduces the clutter that often accumulates in smaller bags. The signature high-visibility interior lining also helps you quickly find what you need, even in dim lighting.
The bag includes an adjustable padded shoulder strap that can be worn on either shoulder, helping distribute weight evenly during wear. A reinforced carry handle provides a solid grip when you need to quickly grab and go.

These pockets help pilots access frequently used gear without digging into the main compartment. The outer buckled flap protects these pockets from the elements while keeping essentials close at hand.
Thanks to its slim, compact dimensions, the Thrust 2.0 Sling Pack fits comfortably where larger pilot bags feel bulky, such as between an iPad and a headset pocket or under a seat in smaller general aviation aircraft. This makes it particularly useful for pilots who fly light or have limited legroom. Its low profile also makes it easier to reach items without disrupting flight operations.

The sling pack’s combination of compact size, robust organization, and protective features makes it ideal for student pilots, recreational flyers, and professional aviators alike.

For everyday flying, its quick-access pockets and adjustable strap simplify transitions between flights, hangar activities, and travel.
