Okay so ATP if flying me down on Southwest to do my cross countries in Jax. How should I pack? They say to bring bed linens for staying at ATP apartments as well as clothes for the Citation flight and clothes for 2-3weeks. Well I've got 5 ATP shirts, 5 white undershirts, 2 pairs of kaki pants, one pair of dress pants and one dress shirt and dress shoes (for the citation ride). And of course 5 days worth of socks and underwear. That stuff there is necessity. Well that fills up one small rolling suitcase. Great. Now I need to bring my laptop, books to study CFI stuff, my career pilot binder AND all of my flight gear ie. headset, charts, plates, kneeboard, flight computer etc. I'm up to (1) suitcase (weighs maybe 35-40lbs if that) (1) laptop case with my CFI books, also my logbook, pilot certs. and med. cert. (1) Jepp. flight bag with headset, kneeboard etc. Where the hell do I put bed linens!? And a Pillow?!? I'm worried I have too much for the seminole's baggage compartment already! Also, I'm planning on taking this stuff on every cross country, never know when I'll be staying overnight on the road. So traveling light in the seminole is important, but I don't want to be sleeping on the floor in an apartment. I would think sleep would be important on these flights so your not exhausted to fly.
How did some of you guys do it? Thanks
