Evan Krueger has recently written a useful post on the Let’s Go Flying blog about what he keeps in his flight bag. And while Evan noted the old Boy Scout motto of “Be Prepared” in the beginning of his post, he then wrote that he does not lug his entire flight library with him and that he uses a fairly small flight bag. Moreover, Evan also wrote that while some pilots spend hundreds of dollars on a flight bag, he finds spending this much to be unnecessary. In fact, he just uses the free one AOPA sent him when he renewed his membership.
As for what Evan keeps in his flight bag, he noted the following items:
- Headset
- Logbook
- E6B Flight Computer
- Airport/Facility Directory and Charts
- Flashlight
- Sunglasses
Hence, we would like to ask our readers: What do you keep in your pilot flight bag? Do you prefer a small flight bag for the bare essentials or a large flight bag with everything you could possibly need?
