When I started, I went through the same exercise of looking for a
comprehensive form. What I found was that the blank back side of my printed DUATS flight plan works for me. I'll write out the "CRAFT" acronym for the clearance, and just work down the page with necessary info, such as time off, frequencies, fix crossing times, etc.. I'm pretty busy in the cockpit, so when I'm give information that needs to be transcribed, I don't have a lot of time to look across a big form to figure out where it should go. Also, if I forget the as file route, I just flip the sheet of paper over! "Cecil E. Chapman" wrote in message ...

Mine are similar, except I also have notations on when I switched from each tank:

I've flown IFR four times recently between the SF Bay Area and Portland, Oregon. Here is a representative reproduction of everything I have written on my kneeboard at the end of a 4+ hour 500+ NM flight (hand written on a blank mini legal pad): ----- 8/22 KHIO CANBY SIX CANBY V23 SAC V334 SJC -D 7000 2115Z ENI 328@50 5 NM/8000 MSL HIO *T* 2050Z 340@6 V10 SCT050 21/12 29.96 VIS RWY30 CANBY6 M4K X7K 5 MIN 126.0 6633 OFF 2123 NGF66F PAO *Q* 0047Z 290@15 FEW040 29.93 FLT 4:27 T 509.0 H 611.5 ----- That is my filed route, weather briefing, departure ATIS, clearance, time off, the N number of a NORDO aircraft that I was asked by ATC to help locate, arrival ATIS, and end-of-flight timestamps. Not sure what I'd do with a big complex flight planning form. -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.

CRAFT works out beautifully... great for clearances, nothing better. More
of what I was looking for was a single sheet where all my nav & com freqs, etc. were all laid out for easy viewing. -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E.

You must fly a Cessna, because the single most important item I track on a long flight is the time I switch fuel tanks. |

Has anyone found a REALLY great/comprehensive 'flight form' to use for their IFR flying? I made one that fits a standard, letter sized clipboard. It has a flight plan form and a clearance sequence to fill in plus lots of blank space. The form is mirror imaged top to bottom. If you print it on both sides, you get four forms on one piece of paper. It's an Autocad LT2000 .DWG file. I'll be happy to send it to anyone who wants to try it. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

I agree that when you're busy, a blank sheet of paper with a CRAFT
reminder is about all that's needed, but for a nav log form, I like the free forms available on www.faatest.com. Actually I like the VFR one better than the IFR one, but they deserve a look. It's especially clever the way it's set up for half size knee-board format. On their website, look under Neat Stuff - All Products and Freebies. Mike In article , "Cecil E.

Has anyone found a REALLY great/comprehensive 'flight form' to use for their IFR flying? --A blank Piece of paper and a good checklist customized for the plane you fly and for the phase of flight i.e.. Departure, level off, cruise, before descent, approach, missed approach etc...or a simple form with a section for the filed route on top and columns for course, altitude, frequency, and report (as in report reaching etc.) these you fill in from top to bottom and crossthrough upon receiving new freq,hdg, alt etc.Of course if you have GPS things might be different Happy Flying R.Wallace CFIAIM -- Good Flights!
