After reading this thread I went to amazon and bought a mini clipboard. Lol

The one that is “part of the airplane” is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, I think the safety vest guy picked it out.

You guys really don't need an acars clipboard and yoke cheat sheet to get the airplane off the ground. All you're doing is just creating extra work. Try it without. It's liberating.

To hell with all you clipboard dorks!

Trash bag works great for all that paper.

But why? What do you ever print that you need to look at again that isn’t saved in the ACARS?

TODM (until after takeoff)
Final Weights message
Hazmat printout
HOWGOZIT (easy to write on when it's on the mini clipboard)
LDM
Anything else the Captain wants printed (often PDC or crew list)

At stations without D-ATIS and/or PDC I copy the ATIS and/or clearance onto a sheet on the clipboard.

Knotcher 12-25-2019 05:48 PM

TODM, ATIS goes in the trash after takeoff

FWM can be put in window after takeoff (on FO yoke before TO)

Rare flight you have hazmat captain almost always puts by his window

Ldm not till end of flight

if captain wants crew list it’s because he wants it on his yoke or stick it near the footrest

All that’s left is Pdc, howgozit, and maybe destination atis. Fold and stick on empty space....simple enough

How do I bookmark this thread? I’d like to revisit this in 5 years when we are arguing over really tough stuff just to remind myself how good we had it.

That is a person and I actually flew with that Captain about 2 1/2 years ago.
