Would really appreciate a video from your perspective on how you be a safe pilot as a newly qualified pilot.

Legal - Did you mention carrying photo ID and your medical cert? Maybe they are in your licence holder? As you know, they are required to be carried (with a few exceptions such as flying aeros or in certain permit aircraft). As a spectacle-wearer I am obliged by law to carry a spare pair. Practical - vital to have a credit card in case you get stuck away somewhere. I leave one in my flight bag and use it only for aviation-related payments. I was returning to base recently when someone was setting up for an emergency landing and it seemed very likely the airfield would have to close. As I did my diversion planning it occurred to me it would be an overnight stay due to sunset times (no night rating) and I wished I had a mini washkit with me! I also carry a small torch and a very small Swiss army knife. Definitely a bottle of water, as you have, and a snack bar. BTW, I was told to leave my logbook safe at home unless needed for Instructor sign off. It's a precious thing. A friend had theirs stolen from their car....they were gutted, despite having an electronic record.

Ahh yes that is one thing I missed, my medical certification is in my licence holder. I don’t need glasses day to day, only for screens and driving at night so I’m not required to take a spare set, I do however always take them with me and some sunglasses too. I also carry a credit card and photo id with me anywhere I go so that is why I didn’t list it as something that I keep in my flight bag. An overnight bag is not a bad idea! You never know what could happen! A Swiss Army knife could also come in handy so also a great idea! That’s is a good point about the logbook, maybe I will leave it behind from now on!

This is so sad because we know LV canvas gets thinner over time but Goyard’s canvas is literally paper thin. Most of their bags are leather lined but for me a big reason to own a coated canvas luxrul bag is that it is lightweight and indestructible
