Flight Binder Setup?

[FlowingGlint61]

I am creating a flight binder for myself and was wandering what I should add to it so I thought I would ask everyone here. I am already planning to add FAA airport diagrams, flight plans to common airports, and specifications to my aircraft. Is their anything else I should add? Maybe a few sheets of scratch paper? Also where would I find specifications to my aircraft such as V1, V2, Vr, takeoff speeds, takeoff length, etc? (I usually fly a 787 -10 or 9)

I just made a topic in this too but more asking WHAT a binder is rather than what should I put in it. One person did answer it and said all of what you have but they also said they would record the weather and winds.

I saw that! I was actually referencing it while I wrote this; it was really useful! I wrote as much as I did to make sure people would not suggest things I already planned to add.

I don’t want to mention my topic to gain popularity or advertise the topic, but the comments were really helpful to me in this and I really think they could help you as well! One guy even put an empty spreadsheet that I might try tomorrow for fun 😃

Hope this helps:

Binder Checklists in IF help

I was just reading @DeltaVirtual 's topic on people’s IF setup, and what I saw pop up a lot in the comments was a checklist/binder. Now I could see people using this in global for writing down instructions, reminders, calculations, etc. for 2+ hour flights, but I personally just don’t understand it since my longest flights (without touch and goes) are less than an hour. Maybe people just want this for realism or it could be that I’m missing out on something very useful or people are just preppin…

V1, V2, Vr

It’s all relative to weight. Maybe keep a calculator and a pencil in there to scribble V speeds down for different weights.

With some minor tweaking these topics could be merged by a moderator. Anywho, good luck putting your binders together and thanks for sharing with the community 😉

Sounds like a job for Fore Flight :P

Let's make a V1/V2/VR speed table together!

Hey everyone, as many of you know, my app In-Flight Assistant lets you set V1, V2, and VR speeds so your "co-pilot" calls them out during takeoff. I've had quite a few requests to provide a calculator in the app to let you know what those speeds need to be, but the problem is that the formulas for calculating them are quite complex and often are an airline's secret business knowledge. So, I had the idea - what if we slowly but surely "crowdsourced" the values for all the airplanes in IF by e…

this should be helpful :).

I am planning to start using a binder when global releases, and it will contain:

• Parking and ground chart of both airports

• SID and STAR + IAP for airports

• Simbrief briefing (6-7 pages long)

• Paper for noting stuff down

• V speeds
