Buster172. .. .The problem you have selected is a very real one, and in my view well worth tackling as a formal project. .. .Some thoughts:. .. .In defining the existing problem do not assume aviation knowledge on the part of the reader. You would need to expand considerably on some of the following points. .. .Pilots need to take various bits of pre-prepared paper and implements (from glasses and sun glasses to stop watches and writing tools) into the cockpit.. .. .Because of the risks posed by lose articles they need everything to be easy to stow and easy to unstow (as well as being appropriate for purpose when in use). .. .Stowage provisions vary greatly between types. .. .Pilot needs vary with experience and type of flight. .. .Often a clear definition and appreciation of the problem can lead one to suggest solutions.. .. .How about discussing personal stowage? The flying suit may be seen by many as a posing accessory, but in fact can be of great assistance if tailored to specific stowage needs rather than (just) looking sharp.. .. .If a flying suit is not worn, then you could consider pockets/pouches applied to upper arms and thighs as Velcro wrap arounds etc. (discarded before you emerge to have your photo taken after another amazing feat of aviation...). .. .Good luck with your exercise
