Don't forget the flashlight. I have yet to find a good way to keep it

too small to keep from rolling off into a crevice.

Flashlights come in two styles.

Style 1 has a wrist lanyard attached to it. These get hung over a horn of
the yoke.

Style 2 has no laynard. These get lost under the seat.

How about flashlights attached to your head? Or your headset? I
tried one of the LED "headlights", but it gave me a headache after
awhile. It was sure was convenient though! Does anyone use the neck
lights, seatbelt lights, ballcap lights, and even tongue switch lights
they advertise in Sportys and Spruce?

I once considered the headset mounting arrangement but wasn't too
crazy about it. Every time I had to illuminate something I had to turn
my head towards it instead of turning my eyeballs. I found that I was
reaching for the flashlight and turning it by hand. Since excessive
head movements are not the best thing in IMC, I abandoned this
practice. I now carry an LED flashlight. Sometimes I do lose it. I
have to try Roy's suggestion of attaching it to a lanyard.
