Whats in YOUR flight bag?
 

Thought this post might bring up some intersting items that everyone carries. What items do you all carry that have proved valuable?

My Flight Bag:
Headset
Logbook
Fuel Tester
Checklists
Sectional Charts

I usually just carry my headset around since all charts, flashlights, fuel strainers, et cetera typically stay in the King Air. :p

However when my flight bag was in full effect it housed to following:

1. Headset
2. Approach plates
3. Sectional and Lo Enroute Charts
4. AFD
5. Flashlight
6. Pliers (to lossen pesky overtighened oil dip sticks in trainers)
7. Dry erase markers
8. Pens / Pencils
9. E6B
10. Calculator

ummm.. i think that's about it

I don't carry a flight bag anymore... we just leave everything on the plane (another benefit of the corporate life)...

But here's what I carried when I worked for the airlines:

Headset (in tupperware case)
