New version Pilot Operating Handbook (POH)
Has anyone found a convenient way to print out the POH on the website in the small page format of the original paper book?

I take it to Staples and have them print it out but then I still have to cut the pages down to the correct size. Not really easy.

I take mine to Office Depot. They print the manual, and cut it to size at no additional cost. They wanted extra to punch the holes, so I do that myself with use of an adjustable 3 hole punch. Works great!!

Documents
Do Vans send paper copies of the final documents, or is downloading & printing out the only way to get them? Thanks, Cheers, DEAN....

I've never received any hardcopy updates.

I ordered the last updated version from Vans to replace my earlier POH. I requested just the pages since I already had a cover, but they sent a new cover anyway. I guess they probably aren't set up to sell pages and covers separately. Anyway the new POH cost $25.

Printing Half-Sheet POH

The most convenient way is to have someone else do it. Lacking that I did get good at the process while making Flight Test Cards at Club Muroc.
1) Secure a fair quantity of 8.5 x 5.5 paper. If you have access to A5 paper it will do (I miss British Office Supply stores, oh, and real Cod & Chips) If you cannot find either, find a paper cutter and cut some Letter size paper in half. (This is what I usually have to do.) BTW FranklinCovey used to sell a very nice Half-Sheet 7-hole punch for a reasonable price, but with Day-Timers going the way of the Dodo they may not exist any more.
2) Load up the printer.
3) Press Ctrl-P to bring up the Print Dialog box (or the Mac equivalent)
4) Some printers have Half-Sheet but most don't. In that case create a custom paper size of 8.5 x 5.5 and select it.
5) Select 'Actual Size' and print. It should print as you expect.
This process has worked for me for years. I normally use Card Stock for Checklists, Normal Ops and Emer Procedures, and if you get really bored, you can play with different colours as well.
Hope this helps.

Tom, I tried your method and it does print. Problem is the whole page gets squeezed down to a size where the print is VERY small. I ended up just printing the manual two-sided, clamping all the pages together and cutting them down to size with a table saw. Yeah I know, very kludgey. Should have bought a new book for the 25 bucks. Didn't know Vans sold them separately. Next time, I'll call Vans first!

Hi Guys,
Technically you are required to use the POH that came with your individual aircraft at the time of purchase. The only way to use future or newer POH is if Vans comes out in writing and states that the new POH or additions are applicable to all aircraft preceding the new publication. We went though this on another forum and with the FAA. You can not just adopt another newer POH just because it's the same model. There may be differences that aren't applicable to some models. The POH wasn't supposed to be a one size fits all.

Roger,
Does that apply to ELSA and EAB, or just SLSA?
