Simple sheet to record aircraft data

Can anyone point me to a simple form which one can use to jot down the key data for an aeroplane - stuff like rotation speed, Vx, Vy, fuel consumption - the key items one could extract from the pilot operating handbook and then have as a ready-reference.

I searched on Google but it's one of those things where one needs to know what such a document is called.

Hopefully, someone will know what I mean.

You mean a cheat sheet. You could try searching online, or try asking an experienced instructor/examiner. Some of them do keep them for things they don't fly regularly.

PM me with your email and can send you a copy of mine for the C150 (in mph), C152 (in Kts), Robin DR400, and about to do type up PA28 and Cirrus SR20.

Its not cheating.....actually pretty sensible, especially if flying several different aircraft. I run my ATIS/mini route plog next to it as really useful for a quick glance for rotate/final clean:final flap configs. ASI

Years ago I just used MS Excel to make a simple sheet with stuff like a PLOG (loosely based on the pads that they used to sell at LAC) and particular frequencies for wherever I am going to fly. Few empty boxes to put ATIS info, eng start / stop T/O / Land times, Hobbs, Datcon Fuel before T/O, after landing etc. and they can easily be amended every time I fly.

Easy to put a few V Speeds down the side and after a while of saving each new one, you'll have a library for different aeroplanes and different routes.

Nothing .. you can either stick a blank piece of paper on it (like plenty do) or have a pre formatted bit like others have suggested.

Or if you can't make your own you can buy them.

and to be even handed
