Not super proud to admit this as a CFI but when going to a new airport with a student I draw out the traffic patterns on my iPad / sectional, partly to show them it’s best to double check and ensure they enter on the correct side, but because, unbeknownst to them, it still trips me up sometimes. I’d confuse left and right pattern a lot during my ppl and cpl and god forbid I’d do it again as a CFI.

Wondering if I’m the only one

Been looking for a bag that I can daily as an EDC bag (I have a big load out at the moment) but I can also travel with. Current bag is great for EDC but travel wise is lacking.

I'm between the AER TP3 or TP2, and the Matador GR35. I've had the TP3 small so I know what to expect more or less, but the GR35 seems pretty good.

TP3/2

• I like the admin panel a lot
• Dump pocket is great
• I don't like being married to a clamshell though
  • If the admin panel is loaded out with a lot of stuff, the constantly flapping it over to get in and out gets annoying.
  • finding where the zippers are also gets annoying.

GR35

• I like the dual access. Clamshell but top opens up for quick access. Just curious how much it opens when more or less packed out
• I like that it's lighter and seems to be more comfortable
• I like the front mesh pocket, but idk how I'd feel about it long term
• I'm a little concerned about water resistance
