Riverrock,
If on Navex I use a laminated colour copy of the route, with route, fuel, timings, turning points etc plotted. This means that it is a much smaller example of the half mil and only needs to be folded and stuck with sellotape. I also have a knee pad. I scribble QFE/QNH, Barnsley and Chatham RPS, any frequencies or clearances etc on that with a china graph which I keep in my flying suit arm pocket. also use the china graph to scribble on teh map if needed.
If I am flying local area, I take my half mil folded fr correct area and fastened with bulldog clips. I also have a local area map card in my kneeboard literally just with the surrounding airfields and their frequencies.
If I am not using the map, I just put it down the left hand side of my seat, fits in well and doesn't constitute FOD!
By the way, an aircraft that won't trim and rolls?!! Wouldn't fancy learning in that...
