Well done DD!

I've printed out a kneeboard-size sheet with all the frequencies I could use locally. 42 frequencies. On the other side are distances and mag tracks between likely points.
It sits behind my flight note sheet on my kneeboard-sizesheet. Very helpful for in-flight directions.
I do the same. I've been known to forget the tower frequency of the airfield I've been flying at for years. If it's forgettable, I write it down (so that's everything for me then) and I thank whoever it was that decided that aircraft reg plates have to be in a prominent place on the instrument panel from the bottom of my heart.

I also deplore the use of ICAO codes instead of names of places. It sounds like the writer is pretending to be an airline pilot.
Yes, one of my pet dislikes too. Even the passengers do it on the passenger part of the forum. I haven't got a clue where they've been or are going. Makes them sound seasoned I suppose.
