What's in your wallet!? Er....Flight case
 

What do most regional pilots carry in thier flight case? What is usually required and what have people found to be the thing to "not be without" when out on the line?

Jepps, FOM, FCM, flashlight, headset w/ spare batteries
ALPA contract
Mini logbook
Advil
TOLD cards

Jepps (for the whole Western US), Headset, Employee Handbook, Spare Checklist(s), Two Flashlights, spare batteries, mini logbook, ear plugs, digital camera

TOLD cards? Takeoff and Landing Data Card?

Yep.

(extended to 10 characters)

PSP and charger?

Can't forget a good book or a crossword puzzle.

Do ost airlie pilots use Jepp charts. I was trained and only know how to use NOS charts. I would have thought professional pilts would use the government issued stuff.
I am just curious why are Jepp charts the prefered charts?

Jepps are the standard.

I have never understood the people that dont carry the certificates on their person

What if they are readily accessible?

Updated and current resumes!

Well I'm glad for that cuz I find the NOS plates NOT user-friendly. (typical, they're issued by the gov't after all!)
N6724G, I think maybe another reason why airlines use Jepp plates is cuz Jepp can also make plates tailored for an airline's own standards.

the old format NOS charts are not good but the newest format aren't bad. My biggest complaint is that when changes are made, the plates aren't updated (which is stupid).

.................................

Correct. Jeppesen provides not only tailored charts, but custom coverages for each carrier's regular and alternate airports. That way we don't end up carrying charts for, say, Baldwin, Michigan.

a psp..couple games and a few psp movies...

beef or deer jerky

Standard stuff, plus a contract, a "Captain's Atlas," a star chart, and "How to Identify the Night Sky" book for the weird stuff you might see at night.

A sandwich ... on top of all the other company required manuals.

Ok, let me change it slightly: how much do your flight cases WEIGH??

Dont for get the pack o' trojans (mine has an expiration date written in roman numerals)>

enough to break about 10 pilots backs a month!!!! about 40lbs. doesnt sound like much till you are all hunched over, twisted around the armrest trying to pull it out of its slot!!

Company manuals, Jepps, 4 or 5 magazines, a book, a Palm (keep my log on APDL on that, plus it plays MP3s, holds pics of the kids), Surefire flashlight, extra pens, bankers clip, passport, extra TOLD cards, extra fuel slips, sunglass cleaner and cloth.
