Do you guys have a binder/ notebook/ folder/ something that you have your A/C's printed out, or do you just pull it up online?

If you have them printed out, which ones do you have?

Thanks.
 
Yep, I keep all FAA pubs including Advisory Circulars on my tablet. I use them quite a lot too, having them handy I'm sure is the main reason.
 
No, I just save them as I come across them. There's a lot of good stuff collected here that you can browse by topic area:

It's also nice to know a bit about maintenance techniques sometimes, which can help identify problem areas or acceptable/unacceptable repairs.

AC 43.13-1 Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair
AC 43.13-2A Acceptable Methods Techniques and Practices - Alterations
 
+1 for having electronic copies. I had originally printed out most of the AC's in rframes's list, and stuck them in a binder. It was a 4" thick mess of one-sided pages, which made it difficult to work with. You will also find that having a search function is key since most of the AC's are long-winded and a bit dry. Good stuff through. I highly recommend reading most if not all of the AC's listed above.
 
Yeah this is going to be a painful process of finding all of these and saving them, buuut yeah it sure beats the heck out of having a binder....oh well ill dig it later!
 
I would add AC 91-67 “Minimum Equipment Requirements for General Aviation Operations under Part 91”.
 
Are you talking about in the beginning when it says that the PTS are based on the following references? Then lists all the regs and the ac's...

My stuff is all in Dropbox, and I read them with Stanza. I add a document on my computer, it shows up in Dropbox on the iPad.

Oh, and on a notoriously picky note, I think it's "Advisories Circular" just as its "courts-martial" and "surgeons general."
 
Oooh well aren't we getting fancy eh?

I found an FAA publication which is pretty good, its the Aeronautical Chart User's Guide. Pretty helpful to give to a student who has never seen a sectional.
