What methods do you deploy? How many folks use a kneeboard? What
kind of timer (analog or digital stopwatch) do you use, and where do
you put it? Where do you keep the charts, approach plates, and
scratch paper? How many people write down every clearance, heading,
altitude and frequency change? How do you keep from dropping your pen
(or pencil)? Is it on a string? Where do you put in when not in
use? Velcro? Your pocket?
I've read the books, but I just wonder how people cope in real life.
Rod Machado talks about using a clipboard (with extra clips on the 3
other sides) in his excellent training manual. This seems like a good
idea to me.

Thanks to everyone who offered up so many great ideas! This seems to
be a very individual thing, but it's great to have so many workable
ideas to choose from.
I've only been posting for less than a week, but I have found this
group to be invaluable! It's amazing to me that so many folks with
common interests are willing to provide thoughtful responses to a
perfect stranger (me)! I really appreciate it!- Hide quoted text -

Glad you find it useful. Stick around as much as you can, and the
questions people ask here will keep you sharp. I can say for sure that
I have learned more from here than from any other source. Once in a
while there will be some ballyhoo over someone or something, and
people will threaten to leave. There will be a mass exodus, and then
fresh blood with flow in and everything will be better than before.
Several of us have been sticking around here for more than a decade,
and the reason we keep coming back is because it is like taking a
refresher course, for free.
Andrew,
I just wanted to let you know how useful your article was on VOR
interpretation. It sure is a different (and easier) approach to the
subject! Now I'm exploring the other aviation areas of your excellent
website.
Thanks!
