Personal Equipment
Oo-Err
However, a serious topic. The nav/flight safety/personal safety equipment provided by my company is of a standard above the minimum required by the governing authority but below that which is available. With pocket money I can purchase better/different moving map equipment, binoculars, night vision binoculars, leatherman(for cutting straps/fixing stuff), torches, beacons, clothing etc
Now, without changing SOPs what can I legally carry without risking the wrath of the governing body? I have discussed with company management about taking certain personal kit and they have assured me that I would face discipline proceedings if discovered. What personal kit is allowed by the governing bodies and what isn't? I have carried a torch and leatherman for years with no problems. Have I just been getting away with it? What about nav computers and personal pens, should they be safety checked before use?
Your thoughts please.
