Default How many pilots are using technology

What
fraction of electronic documents do you
think we normally print out? I
suspect it is around 10% or less.


Maybe so, but there are ten times as many documents as there were,
mainly because it's so easy to generate them. And we print out the
silliest things, and we print out stuff because the software gives us no
choice (like TurboTax's "smart worksheets" - don't get me started), and
we print them out multple times to get them right, and we print
everything on full sheets of paper, no matter how big the document.

If you had electronic charts in the cockpit, how many of you would print
them out for the approach. I would.
