Chaps

Anyone here know where I can download or create a type of Cockpit Writing Pad to write down items such as Radio and Flight information. Would usually buy it, but stuck in the depths of Africa and wondering whether there are any web sites or if anyone could email such a document?

Cheers

Check your PMs and see if that's of any use.

What about something simple like this?

A5 size (will fit the soon-to-be released 'MJ PPRuNe kneeboard' ;)) and bound to be an awful lot cheaper than anything with 'aviation' printed on it.

Dave,
Cheers, spot on. Hate writting on the pads, the VFR Flight Plan template will do very nicely and keep it neat and tidy! ;-)

Any chance you could forward to me also? Always looking for something useful to scribble on! I've made one up myself but it's a little unwieldy in practice and have'nt had time to rework it.

Slopey, it's available for download from here (http://www.atsx91.dsl.pipex.com/Documents/A5_VFR_Plan.doc). (MSWord format)

I'm aware that it's not perfect, and it isn't to everyone's taste, but it's better than nowt.

To be honest, I use printouts from Navbox ProPlan myself these days anyway when flying in UK/Europe.

Many thanks - I'll have a look and incorporate some of the usual stuff I have in on mine (like initial Class D VFR clearances I need for EGPD). :)
