Being a new pilot I have trouble with this. I know there is no standard notation, but I'm sure someone with more experience have come up with a shorthand notation that makes sense and allow you to copy down these clearances for readback. Please share, thank you....

I listen to clearance delivery on http://www.liveatc.net/ and can't keep up with the controller

PS. I am familiar with the CRAFT acronym.

Check out Appendix A in FAA-H-8083-15A Instrument Flying Handbook -- available in PDF form, from the FAA. Two pages of shorthand.

I just use my own shorthand..

For taxi clearances, I just write the letters down, with vertical lines to indicate "hold short of":


I write:

For IFR clearances:

I write:


There are a million ways to do it. Just copy them down and be consistent in your approach.

Hi,

Are you an IFR student? Your instructor should have some clever ways to show you. There are many, and using CRAFT, I think is a great way to organize information. Like Pat said, just be consistent and use the same thing every time. It doesn't matter who understands it, as long as you are always clear. You'll be amazed how much practice will help you-it is truly like learning a new language. And do check out the Instrument Flying Handbook..
