The way the RAF maintain aircraft these days dressing for the inevitable crash seems a prudent move. When even gliders are messed about with to the point they have to be grounded, dressing to survive might include a magazine around the posterior?
My first somewhat colourful CFI asked me early to have a look at my important flying documents. I handed over log book and medical and he said - "no dear boy, this is the one I meant", whilst picking up my cheque book!
So a decent jacket, good shoes and my wallet and phone!
