Private Pilot Resources - Aviation Blog

I obtained my private pilot license in 2006. This site is dedicated to capturing little gems of knowlege I collected during training. Periodically I add items I find during research so that others might benefit from them. Please review the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

Two small investments that made all the difference

On past flights I always had a little challenge about where to keep my timer. Off and on I missed my times to switch tanks. Not by much, but enough that it was a problem. I finally bought a yoke clip and now wish I had bought one right at the beginning of starting to fly. What a difference it made. I now have my flight timer right in front of me and can even clip on a map. The other piece I bought was a small plotter, which is way better to handle in the cockpit than the large one I use for flight planning. The clip, which has a medium high stem and fits very sturdy on the yoke was about $ 17.00 and he plotter about $ 6.00.
