Probably an APP exists for putting the local ATIS on the screen of your cell, but my little pocket board is the next best thing. Just a small pad secured with binder clips, the pocket board provides a compact, tear-off surface to write down the ATIS, and the other side has two looseleaf binder sleeves to insert local and destination frequencies. Clipboards, knee boards, yoke boards always seemed distracting, cumbersome and now obviated by glass panels, but for short-hop flying the pocket board works great. And remember: after listening to the Automatic Terminal Information Service, don't tell the controller that you "have numbers."
