I think that as an Ab Initio (beginner) he doesn't need anything beyond lots of warm dry clothes, headgear, gloves and warm waterproof footwear. He should check if there are refreshments available when he will be flying, depending on the answer he might need the flask and sarnies. A large bottle of water or a Camelback could be useful on a long hot summer's day at the launchpoint. But tools? Noooo!!!!!
