I've got a kneeboard that I bolted an analog stopwatch to (on the clip).

I've been thinking about using an analog stopwatch, rather than the
digital models. I sure like an analog watch better, and it seems
like it would easier to note the passage of one minute using this
device. Do they still sell them?


As for clearances, I write the original one. After that I usually just go by
memory unless there's a multipart change or I'm in an unfamiliar area where I
don't know where places are without resorting to a chart. But I seldom write
down a frequency, heading or altitude change. I can keep them in my head.


Not me, at least not reliably. I hope that I get smarter and can
devote more brain cell cycles to short term memory once I get better
at flying the plane by reference to instruments! In the mean time
it's safer for me to write everything down. These responses are
giving me hope that this won't always be the case!

Flip flop radios are particularly handy for frequency changes: old frequency on
one side, new on the other. If nobody's at home on the new, just flip it back
to the old.

Unfortunately, not with KX-170B's. :-(

I keep my flight case between the seats or on the unoccupied front seat if I'm
alone.

Not much room between the seats in a Warrior or Dakota. I'll have to
settle for the lap of my passenger (or instructor, but probably not
the examiner).
