Not picking, but wondering what you do on a long cross country where
you have two or three enroute reports?

Not bad.
Two nits...
- I would make the map larger (I like to depict the surrounding weather
systems and winds)
and
- reverse the order of the winds (higher altitudes on top, lower on
bottom) to visually reflect the actual conditions.

My older version of the form had an enroute section, but I found I never
used it. Mostly I just put that sort of info in the notes section. My
longest flights are usually just over 100 miles. So I deleted it and put in
the flight plan form.
I just got my IFR rating so if it becomes necessary, I'll put it back in. Or
rework the older version...

Thanks for looking. I'll see what I can do about the map.

The order of the winds is that way because the briefer gives them out in
that order. I've tried to tailor the whole form to that format.

Looking at that form it seems like you could scrape a few weather sites
and fill all of that information in electronically. Now that would be
handy!

Has anyone else considered getting one of those portable printers and a
PDA for printing plates etc?

Maybe add a second (back) page with AWOS/ATIS information and approach
briefing checklist.

I like it a lot as is- just a couple of possible suggestions:

1. Make the map regional instead of national, so you can put more
detail on it. But this means you have to maintain multiple versions,
etc...

2. If you have the right tools, render it as a fillable PDF form so
people can type in their non-changing flight plan info and save it.
Nitpick.

3. I personally would rather have an enroute Wx block than the 12000'
wind, but I'm in Boston.

4. Guessing you built this in Quark or some such, not in Word- I'd
like to have the source so I could modify this for my preferences
rather than nagging you

Best,
-cwk.

Thanks Ben, I agree, but I wouldn't have a clue about how to go about that.
