Stopped at a small airport diner in Flagstaff and saw something that made me rethink my whole approach to wiring diagrams
I was grabbing a coffee and noticed the cook had a laminated, color-coded chart for the grill station, with every step and timer laid out in a simple flow. It hit me that my complex avionics diagrams for a King Air job could use a similar 'quick reference' version for common faults, instead of just the full manual. Has anyone made a one-page cheat sheet for a specific system they work on a lot?

Saw a post on a maintenance forum where a guy did that for a Cessna 172's landing gear system. He took the book diagram and boiled it down to a single page with the three most common failure points and the voltage checks at each relay. Made troubleshooting a ten minute job instead of an hour. That grill chart idea is spot on, simple visual guides cut through the noise. For something you see all the time, a cheat sheet is just smart work.
