Here's a tip for your Jepp binders
 
Some of you older guys may know this (so don't flame me), but I just discovered it last night and thought I would pass it along for the benefit of other newer pilots like myself.

It turns out that DayRunner (the day planner company) uses the exact same paper size and seven-hole punch pattern as Jeppesen. I was looking for a hole punch, for which pilot stores charge about $40 (sheesh!!...I'm an FO...that's a week's worth of food). The DayRunner punch is exactly the same pattern and costs about $9 at OfficeDepot or OfficeMax. That also means that all the DayRunner accessories (for 5.5" x 8.5" size planners) such as the zipper pockets, dividers, paper, calendars, or whatever will all fit beautifully in your airway or company manuals. It's the exact same paper size and hole punch pattern.

Like I said...just a tip I discovered. It saved me some money, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I look like an old guy, and I didn't know this. Thanks for the tip, hope we see more posts like this.

ps. If $40 is a week's worth of food, you need to find more pilot-friendly, happy hour buffets...lol.

Good post,

FF

Used Day-Timers in a past life. Have been using Jepp's the majority of my life. Never made the connection.

I must say thank you!!!!
