Pre-takeoff checklist
So does everyone write down everything they're told by ATC? Like, "Turn left, heading 240" or "Climb and maintain 6,000." Or do you just repeat it and comply? I usually just repeat and comply, but I had one instructor during my instrument training that would insist on writing everything down that ATC told us including headings, altitudes, and frequencies. I always write down the departure clearance and holding clearances, but otherwise I don't take the time to write things down. Seems unnecessary. But maybe I'm missing the point. What's your habit? I will admit that I use my ADF as an altitude reminder. If I'm asked to climb and maintain 7,000 I will turn the ADF so that the 7 is at the top of the dial. It helps me to remember. I use heading bugs for heading changes. I don't take the time to write it down.
