NACO Plates/How do you hold them?
I am curious how people hold their NACO plates on kneeboards and yoke boards.
One plate or the whole book. I have designed a little gadget that makes this easy but have no idea whether the market wants such a gadget or not. I did; that's why I designed it. TIA. |

I get the loose leaf sets and just take out what I need for that flight. I bought the binders from Sportys -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI |

I like the loose leaf version that allows me to remove what I want and easily replace it when I'm done. Frequently used plates are in the plastic sleeves sold by most pilot shops. Mine are simply clipped to my kneeboard in a stack. I'll put the airport diagram on a yoke clip, when I need one. |

NACO Plates/How do you hold them?
I put the whole book in my lap and use paper clips to keep it open to
a certain page. I'm too damn disorganized to pull out loose leafs and go on more than a couple of flights without losing them or getting them way out of order.

I keep a more or less recent copy of bound plates for unexpected stops and print current plates from AOPA for the actual flight. I keep the printed copies on a clipboard along with the enroute charts and flightplan. The clipboard spends most of its time in the gap between the front seats. |

Spoken by a guy who has purchased replacement sets, because he lost too many pages. G I still go with loose leaf, because I find the back sides easier to use. |

I print them out on 8.5x11 sheets and clip them to the yoke, but I carry the NACO book just in case. |

I use the loose leaf plates in binders from Sporty's. I remove the plates for the upcoming destination and clip them on my homemade knee board (just an office clip board with felt glued to the back). I can then easily pull out the particular plate needed and clip it to the yoke clip. And if the approach changes, I can easily swap the plate from the yoke to the clip board. Matt |

I open them to the page I want, fold it over and put a big gorilla clip to
hold it there. I hold it in my lap when flying the approach otherwise it's on top of the organizer between seats. I have tried other ways but this works best for me. Mark N28409 WC5I ....

I have tried other ways but this works best for me. Ditto. I used to use Jepps and would pull out the individual pages at the beginning of the flight and clip them to a kneeboard. Later when I started flying cargo, I was provided with the NOS charts and started doing as you do. As much as I loved those Jepps, the update program was and is a major PITA. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
