    CFI record keeping... (for CFI's)

    I keep a record of everything we did every flight with notes on anything good or bad. I made my own 8 1/2 X 11 two-sided record sheet. This sheet also includes any endorsements given. Keeps me organized and legal. I've never been to court as a CFI, but I'm ready.

    NDB approaches

    No published overlays, we just do them for a published non-prcesion approach. Not allowed to disable the GPS either (in my plane). Plus, those GPS/RNAV/RNAV RNP approaches are on the annual checkride.

    NDB approaches

    At work, we don't fly NDB approaches in the traditional way anymore. If we use them, it's with a GPS overlay approach with a constant descent to a DDA. (derived decision altitude; or DA +50'). While the old way was kinda fun, it was almost worthless as an approach. I called them "very...

    Pilot Watches

    Casio G Shock with world time (every time zone). $30ish. Got it while flying the 777. Too many time zones!

    Headset options

    I have over 15,000 hours and the one thing I learned about headsets is that you don't have to spend money. Buy a new Sigtronics S-20 for $144. They will work just fine. I have a pair too.
