I’m flying straight after work today so had to bring my flight bag in. Mine is very small at the moment. Soon I will have to carry a lot more crud than I currently do and will need a bigger bag. Here’s what I have so far:
· Headset – very expensive, mildly uncomfortable. Essential for hearing ATC and Bob.
· Sunglasses – I may need new ones, these don’t sit under the headset too well.
· Kneeboard – highly unsexy thing that straps around your thigh. Folds out in three sections. Mine currently has a Toronto VTA chart, a clipboard with scrap paper and my E6b on it. Along with a pen and pencil.
· Glasses – I wear contact lenses, so regs state I have to keep a spare pair of glasses with me. Apparently Transport Canada can and do check to see if you are complying. I suspect if I ever get as far as my flight test. It’ll be the first thing the examiner asks me.
· Tissues – good for cleaning oil and fuel drips off of you. I still come back from lessons smelling like a mechanic.
· Lip balm – the mike and dry air irritate my lips. I use this as a barrier.
· Bag of skittles – at 4500ft is not the time to be suffering from low blood sugar.
· Wallet – to pay for the lesson (Ouch!)
· Keys – so I can get back home
