G'day pesawat:
Why have to write em down when they can be on the map in the first place?????
My thoughts on this are as follows:
  • Is it really so difficult to look things up before you fly? Why does this seem such a big deal for you guys, I mean its hardly onerous?
  • I believe its good arimanship to look things up prior to flight ... in case they have changed is one reason (maps not cycled as often as some other docs - but this may not be the same in your enviromnet)...
  • but, moreover, it is a good planning exercise to go over your route before flyign it - do you prepare a PLOG, or just jump in and go?
  • If you do prepare a PLOG, its no additional work to write down the freqs.
  • If you just jump in and go, then I hope you are either very experienced, or maybe you have another PPL along in the right hand seat and can split the workload. If low hrs PPL, planning ahead must be better, n'est-ce pas?
This is just how it strikes me. Sorry if you viloently disagree - ready for the flames!!
