As a new student just about to take his second flight (and a few months sim time)... Debrief after the first one, CFI gave me a 9 out of 10- the point lost was for being too "timid" banking. Guess I'll take that over being too aggressive. I was certainly conscious enough to gently add...

Perfect, thanks for the info. No test prep... just want a basic + understanding of the design/operation. Like many of you, I've always wrenched on my own "stuff", from vehicles to inboard gas/diesel boats to outboards/PWCs. Just want to know what I'm looking at when I pop the cowling.

New student... Any recommendations? Just basic stuff- typical small GA.

Sure- muddy things up some more for me !! It would be interesting to know whether the A20 uses the same ANR circuitry as the QC 45. I know zero about this, but it would seem that the frequencies to be attenuated in an aircraft environment might be different. If it's the same ANR, then is the...

Totally random- just a middle of the road number as a starting point. I'd just returned from my first flight lesson, where the CFI asked "Hey, you got your headset?"... The DC loaner was plenty comfortable for that hour in the air but I know there's a lot more to it, than that. I'm an avid...

This is an interesting option, thanks for mentioning. New electronics fitted to a passive headset, didn't know this is possible.

Agree, I'm of the "buy once, cry once" philosophy when possible. Everything I've read about the Bose A20 puts them ahead of the competition, so I'm probably going to up my budget to the $700-$800 range for a used A20. In my own experience, any piece of quality electronics that lasts past the...

Purchasing my first aviation headset. On a budget (five bills or so), and would prefer noise-cancelling. I'm leaning towards a used Bose X which would be in that price range, but also looking at a Pilot Communications PA-1779T. I figure I can't go wrong with Bose, but can find little info on...

^^^ Thanks, good points. There's definitely a plethora of info available, lots of it very good- and some not so much... The FAA Airplane Flying Handbook was a good place to start, but I was thinking a more "structured" approach- as in learning the material in appropriate sequence is important...

Greetings, all... "new guy" here- been sim flying with X-Plane for a couple of months to get a clue, ready to get real. I'm looking to take an online PPL course, and locate a CFI to get in a couple of flights per month as I slowly work towards a PPL. Seeking recommendations for both- I've seen...
