I'm not sure if I understand the OP. It sounds like he would like to have the clipboard on his lap, which means we'd have to
advert our eyes from the cockpit to look down at the map.
If that's the case I give this a -1.

It would be optional to have A map placed on your lap.
Personally, I would like it where you could pick what map is on your lap (say from a clipboard map, to the actual map that we see by default via the clipboard) and then have the clipboard come up, if we so wish. So we can look at the base, and see if any cons are nearby and if we are going to the correct base. But then also be able to look down towards our lap and see a clipboard map or something of that sort.
This again, would be OPTIONAL.
