That should take you to the accessories page of the site. The "Pack-it" folders are what ExperimentalAB and I were discussing. The "cubes" are also pretty nice for the socks etc. Rather than purchasing directly from the site, Eagle Creek links you to a number of vendors from which you can find the best price and go from there. Hope this helps. You won't be disappointed!

On another note, while I was on the Eagle Creek site, I noticed a new line of luggage. Their 22" upright comes with a built-in "Pack-it" 18 folder, removable garment bag, and much more. All of their luggage comes with a lifetime warranty as well as a damage repair policy, much like many of the other products that have been recommended. It looks like something to consider.

CRJ-200 cockpit question...

Jeppesen 2 binder, 4 binder or 6 binder leather case???

Max dimension 18x15x9" overhead bin?

I assume just get the 6 binder case and use extra room for headset, glasses, etc.

Your flight case is going to go in the bin next to your seat in the cockpit. You'll need the 4 binder. Get an overnight bag for your clothes and crap, that will go in back up in the overhead.

Wouldn't that be dictated by how many Jepps and pubs your company requires you to carry? I would say get the biggest thing you can fit. There is no such thing as too much space.

The biggest thing that will fit in the space for your flight kit in the CRJ is a 4 binder flight kit. Not to mention its a pain to get it in and out of there.

Any of these will do the trick a lot cheaper.

Default Any other CRJ drivers agree?

I wanted to hear what size would fit from a pilot who flies the CRJ. Thanks coldpilot. I haven't really found the information elsewhere.
But I agree with freezingflyboy, whats wrong with a little extra space? Will the larger bag really not fit? According to Jeppesen, the difference between the two bags is 1" (in width?).

6 binder 12" x 9" x 18"

4 binder 12" x 8" x 18"


edit: Or I could just wait to get to ground school in two weeks, find out what I will REALLY need, and decide then :P

For more clarification, where exactly on the aircraft do we store our luggage when on a trip and what are the max dimensions for a suitcase. I found one that i really like: dim 22x14x10, and I see that the purdy neat is 22x14x8...do those two inches put it over?

Your suitcase will go in the overhead in the back. That's where we put ours anyway. Two inches will put it over. I have the purdy neat and I don't jam it full of crap and its a tight fit.

Nothing is wrong with a little extra space, but it will not fit in the CRJ.
