I used to have them all ready when I lived in the midwest... in Florida
under IFR flight plan, my routes get changes everytime I change
controllers. I do keep the arrival/departure freqs handy but the VORs I
look up on an as needed basis usually on the low altitude IFR charts.
I find it faster than on the GPS and I can hold them up in front of my
instruments so I can keep up the scan.

When you are flying (and assuming you have a GPS with electronic chart
databases), do you usually use paper charts for navigation (looking up
frequencies, checking for restricted airspace, etc.) or do you look it up on
your GPS, and why?


I do all that and more before I leave the house because that is what
you are supposed to do.

As to the source, it is a mix of sectional, AF/D, Flight Guide, and
the AOPA airport diagrams.
