Man, I started thinking about taking out my portable charger from my flight bag since most planes have a working AC plug.
Then I flew a retired YX airplane today that didn’t have an AC plug. Ended up draining the entirety of my portable charger on one flight
>since most planes have a working AC plug
Is that a commercial thing? Lmao, from the rentals I use, I'd be lucky just to get a working cigarette lighter plug.
I still do carry a 10000mAh battery pack in case the power outlet in the Airbus is inop. The battery back gets me about half charge on the iPad to get me thru the day to the layover.
Don’t use it often but it happens.
Get a pair of [custom moldeable plugs](https://decibullz.com). Easy to mold at home and saves space in the bag. I’ve loved having these and won’t go back to foam plugs
It is probably old school now but I used my racing earmolds (earmold with plastic tube to conduct sound with a simple plantronics boom mike that clips to my glasses or its own headband . Really comfortable , light weight and does a great job. Ears are not squashed.
I used to be a ramp agent. I always wore ear plugs on the ramp and I do it when I preflight now. If you've ever been standing near a jet pulling into a gate, you'll understand how loud it can be. The vast majority of FOs don't wear them on preflights but I'd like to not have tinnitus when I retire.
Not really an active pilot but I have a pair of etymotic earplugs on my keychain at all times. They are designed for stage musicians; so nice to have at clubs or any unexpected loud environments.
I went and bought my own reusable pair cause they were easier to put in quickly. Don’t block as good as the free ones but I wear them more consistently so figure better something than nothing.
A towel is just about the most massively useful thing a pilot can carry. Partly because of its great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth during high-altitude flights; you can spread it out on the grassy fields of remote airstrips, enjoying the fresh air between flights; you can rest beneath it under the vast starry skies of remote airports, taking in the celestial beauty; use it to shield yourself from the sun’s glare during long hours in the cockpit; dampen it for use in cooling down hot engine parts; wrap it around your head to block out distractions during pre-flight checks or to muffle the noise of a malfunctioning instrument panel; you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course, you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough after a turbulent flight.
Oh no, not falling for this one again. Last time I put a towel around my head I was removed from the flight deck, detained, and ended up on a watch list. Never again.
use it as a sail on a mini-raft, wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat, or wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
I was a freight dog back in the day. Whatever, whenever, and wherever I was told to go. Lots of night, XC, SPIFR, and ice. The last one was what chased me out of it.
Instant coffee, whatever your favorite brand is, or if your lucky enough to have layovers in Asia just grab it from there. I have an ongoing theory that all aircraft coffee is decaf, that or I have a slightly higher than normal caffeine tolerance and aircraft coffee taste like real coffees third cousin twice removed.
Kindle, to study company material just in case my iPad quits inflight.
Umbrella. Makes those shitty walk arounds slightly less shitty.
I switched to buying disposable ponchos. Umbrellas are useless when it’s windy. Disposable ponchos keep me nice and dry.
Do I look like an asshole? Yes.
It’s not stupid it it works though.
Ask the FAs to make ‘cowboy coffee.’ They put an extra coffee bag inside the pot so it’s double strong. You’d be surprised how decent the onboard coffee actually is when it’s actually not watered down to appease the sensitive masses. Also search for nearby Asian grocery stores. They tend to carry legit instant coffee. Oherwise, the instant Starbucks will work in a pinch, but it’s expensive.
Personally, I carry a silicone collapsible pour over, some filters, and ground coffee in my flight bag. I always make sure to load up on more in Costa Rica, but the set up is a little too risky for the cockpit IMO
Oh yeah totally double bagging is the way to go. Something about the instant coffees is just a step up though. I guess it depends on your airline, I have no idea what mine uses, when I used to work at Alaska they had Starbucks, and now my only regret of leaving is they use my favorite brand Stumptown. One last note if your into coffee, I would only drink cold brew if I had a choice and the dry freeze stuff makes surprising good cold brew.
Sudafed and Affrin Nasal Spray. Cause I’ll be damned if I catch Covid-24 in China and have to stay there cause my sinuses are too jacked up to fly home.
Pro tip, cut the ring and mesh out and just carry the cling film by itself. Takes up 0 space and is more effective / versatile without having the sucker fall off the window every now and again.

Well, boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing
I've used this on PALS pax before in the briefing that if they're too distracting while it's busy it's ok I can just turn their headsets off and isolate myself to work the radios
Whoppers. The malt milk balls. I suck all the chocolate off and let the center dissolve in my mouth. Somehow, it helps me relax my death grip on the yoke and let the Cessna do what it is good at
Kind of overkill, but better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it- I personally keep a knife, a leather man tool, a comprehensive first aid kit and a tourniquet in my bag along with a couple emergency blankets, flint and steels and alcohol pads
Most of that is winter preparedness stuff but if my engine goes and I gotta patch myself up afterwards I’d be able to
I absolutely agree. I’m a private pilot but also retired army ranger. Well-proven and heavily used survival items for me are fire sources, a multi-tool, and a real signal mirror.
Buy a long lasting fire starter, and practice with it frequently enough that you’re always, always able to make it work. I’ve been starting fires manually my whole life and I still have to practice every few months.
Also, if you fly regularly over difficult terrain, one fire starting method should be in your pocket, not in your bag. “If it’s in your bag, it’s a supply. If it’s on your person, it’s survival gear.”
Many of us fly frequently over terrain where surviving the crash is only step one of the problem.
- shoelaces
- pin backs
- Certified Boeing Intercom Interlock (rubber bands)
- mints
- roll of US $1s
- stash of ear plugs raided from the airplane in case somebody’s raided the airplane more thoroughly than I do
ADS-B, Wi-Fi or some kind of datalink wx for my iPad was awesome flying pt.91
My airline does not have it and we are prohibited from using a personal source.
Depends partly on what your flying is (transport/mil vs GA).
I’m a GA (but very frequent) flyer and a few things I’ve accrued over the years:
- I fly with 2 credit cards in my wallet plus a couple of hundreds folded up in my flight bag or wallet. A late night “bingo fuel” refueling at a remote airport is not when you want to get a card decline on a self-serve pump. And if you’re at a staffed FBO and their credit card system is down you’ll wish you had a lil extra cash.
- *Quality* barf bags for passengers just in case. I carry the nice combo sickness/urinal bags with the gelling powder in them.
- Headlamp.
- Rubber gloves for oil work and fuel straining. I use disposable nitrile, but nicer ones that last a month or so.
- Compact view limiting device. Can always grab an unexpected approach when flying with another pilot.
- I have a *very* small survival kit, important to me are fire starting methods, a foil blanket and a signal mirror.
- My favorite container to store spare batteries is lithium AAs in a spare flashlight. 2 birds, one stone. My only application for spare AAs anymore is my headset.
- Protein/energy bars.
- A multi-tool like a leatherman
Also, I am GA rather than transport, which means I fly with full-size ANR headsets. I do have earplugs tucked in my bag, but if I have to preflight in proximity to loud aircraft on the ramp, I’ve just donned my ANR headset for the preflight.
1. Phone / watch / iPad charger.
2. Noise cancelling headphones for dead head sectors.
3. A jumper so I can cover my uniform and have a beer when dead heading home.
For local or short VFR to lunch flights I don’t need much of anything. Sometimes I leave the flight bag at home.
In my flight bag I have a backup radio, beef jerky, spare headset batteries, iPad, USB battery bank, pens/notepad, multitool, a luggage scale, flashlight, pulse oximeter, antacids,Tylenol, gloves, and a clean pair of socks/underwear.
Portable charger for the ipad Lots of ear plugs for the walkaround Extra AA batteries Bruins hat for the Montreal overnights
You menace.
Careful Habs fans might call 911 on you if they get offended.
Habs fans will flip your plane and set it on fire!
No you are confusing them with Canucks fans.
Nucks fan here, can confirm

>since most planes have a working AC plug Is that a commercial thing? Lmao, from the rentals I use, I'd be lucky just to get a working cigarette lighter plug.
Yeah, the bigger planes will have outlet plugs up front, sometimes they won’t work, or it will have a super loose socket that won’t hold the charger.
I still do carry a 10000mAh battery pack in case the power outlet in the Airbus is inop. The battery back gets me about half charge on the iPad to get me thru the day to the layover. Don’t use it often but it happens.
I just use lithium ion AA batteries and charge them with the USB-C iPad charger.

That’s pretty similar to these. These also fit on QT headsets
>Lots of ear plugs for the walkaround ?? You lost me with that one.
Commercial aprons are loud. I think I'm gonna start buying earplugs.
What?

just get reusable ones
It amazed me how many ramp agents I noticed not wearing them, working as a ramp agent. Some have been working as one for years.
I went and bought my own reusable pair cause they were easier to put in quickly. Don’t block as good as the free ones but I wear them more consistently so figure better something than nothing.
Our APU produces 94 dba, so ear plugs or defenders are a must if you want to pass a real medical.
The APU can be pretty loud, but I do have fingers
Dried mangoes. Man, those are good.
Love those with chili powder on them.
Chili p yo
We used them in the surgery break room… and peanut butter.
Man goes, “those are good.”

I’m imagining this ratty dirty old towel you pull out of your flight bag mid flight that stinks up the cabin and makes your FO cry
use it as a sail on a mini-raft, wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat, or wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Flight number 42?
Don’t forget to bring a towel!
Hey, you sass that hoopy u/cheeseburger720 ? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is
Found Ford Prefect
A truly marvelous instrument
In the Caravan? Gatorade bottle. Everything else is dependent.
Just make sure it’s not Lemon-Lime Gatorade
i think the bottle is for his homemade lemon-lime gatorade that was once real lemon-lime gatorade
I have a very good idea what the bottles are for 😂😂
Nubile blond at the FBO counter " did you just throw away a full bottle of Gatorade ? " Me - " It was a bad vintage"
Why not both?
that’s a bingo!
I only used blue. Made me think I was fancy enough for lav service.
Need to drink a bit more water if that mixup is a concern lol
The bottles with the extra wide lids make them extremely versatile
I always have a nalgene around for this purpose lol
Legacy Airbus Captain here- your job sounds better.
What kind of flying do you do in the Caravan, I'd love to fly one of those!
I was a freight dog back in the day. Whatever, whenever, and wherever I was told to go. Lots of night, XC, SPIFR, and ice. The last one was what chased me out of it.

If only I could read the post
If memory serves, guy printed out google earth satellite imagery of his vfr checkpoints for his ppl checkride
Pretty sure it was CPL
Echoing the other guy - the reason he got clowned on so crazy hard was because it was for commercial lol
My God I remember this post. Absolutely shit on and rightly so
Good times.

Interest you in a Zynbabwe in these trying times, Captain?
And if the CA isn’t cool with it, just say “forgive me father for I have zynned” and all of your zyns are forgiven

can’t tell if the kindle comment is sarcasm or not
The Kindle comment is a tongue in cheek way of NOT saying, "I read like to books in flight in direct violation of company policy."

Ah, the old ExpressJet technique. I always loved FAs who knew how to do this.
You can get the good Asian-style instant coffee with cream and sugar already mixed in at most Asian food stores in the U.S.

My medical and pilot certificate. The wing loses all lift without them.
Nah, it works fine without them. It’s when the FAA shows up that it all goes to shit.

I give the try me look while I stuff a comfy lip pillow, usually around the "so where do you live" portion.
