Fly With Me X Out of Commision

Dec 13, 2007 Out of Commision

I'm doing my revisions -- updating my jepps.  Those are the navigation charts we carry in those big black flight kits we all have.  I have two thick binders filled with these thin pages of airport diagrams, departure procedures, arrivals and so on.  Each binder is about the size and weight of two bricks stuck together.  Of course all of the information in there would fit on an iPod ... nano.  But the world of commercial aviation moves slowly, so i carry these heavy binders in my flight kit.  And every two weeks they issue changes which we have to post.  As i said, that's what i'm doing now. Take out the old page, insert new one -- repeat ... it's a royal pain, as any pilot will tell you. 

It's even worse if you get behind.  And i'm way behind.  No -- i haven't flown with outdated charts -- in fact, i haven't flown at all in the last two months.

Here's what happened...
