Vent: My old shop in Phoenix had us hand-write every single wire run sheet.
We spent hours drawing them out and checking them, but after a mislabeled harness caused a two-day delay on a King Air, the new foreman pushed for a digital system. Now we use a tablet app that auto-generates the sheets from the diagrams, which saves a ton of time but feels less hands-on. Has anyone else made a switch like this, and how did your team adjust?

Honestly, the old way sounds like a waste of time and a risk. You had a two-day delay because of a handwritten error. That's the whole point. The digital system isn't about feeling less hands-on, it's about getting the work right. Your hands are still on the actual wiring, which is what matters. That app is just a better tool to stop expensive mistakes before they happen.

Totally get missing the hands-on feel, even if the new way is smarter. Change just takes some getting used to.
