    Headset Evaluation

    It does say two, but only one can be heard at a time. https://assets.bose.com/content/dam/Bose_DAM/Web/consumer_electronics/global/products/headphones/a30-aviation-headset/pdf/876056_og_a30-aviation-headset_en.pdf pg 40 Be interesting to see how it works in practice.

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    Yes, these things happen. People die in aircraft accidents. People die in motorcycle accidents. Yet there is no shortage of people who will sing their praises. I, as have many on this board, have done both. People getting married and it not working out is obviously a thing. We can have a...

    Bad aviation journalism thread

    I'll have to remember that one. ---------- I was working enterprise data support for an ISP and got a call from a guy who you could tell was having a bad day. It seems our customer had hired this guy (and crew) to upgrade their managed switches. In the interest of speed it would seem that one...

    Headset Evaluation

    I have the CQ1 (w/ bluetooth) and have enjoyed it. https://cqheadset.com/ if you care to look into it. They are now offering a 30 day trial, so no leap of faith required. However, it does only connect to one device at a time, I just tested it for my own curiosity.

    Enough jobs for the student pilot population?

    I realize you enjoy picking arcane things to argue about, but this line of argument? "Only someone in the industry can say there are other career opportunities in aviation besides being an airline pilot"? I've come to expect better from you. But, I'll take up the gauntlet and say "I have no...

    Second GPS Unit

    I seem to remember a case happening to a user here on POA w/in the last year or so. This would have been a localized outage, but it is not impossible to run into a GPS dead zone.

    Second GPS Unit

    I think the question has two answers: 1) To be legal, you can just keep the VORs as your backup and you're legal. After all, they should suffice to get your where you're going. 200nm might be a restriction based on fuel, but not the instruments. 2) To be compliant w/ the intent, you're going to...

    Enough jobs for the student pilot population?

    The airlines are truly a cyclical business. The time to be jumping onto the opportunity is when the news comes out. As in, already have all your boxes checked, hours completed, certs obtained, etc. The fact that you're currently scrambling to get those things, means you probably will not make...

    Colorado Rockies Hitting Coach In Pilot Seat

    The only thing missing was noting that this happened on a Boeing product. (I have no idea if it did or didn't)

    Bad aviation journalism thread

    So, the real question. Do I now get to log turbine time as a 172 pilot, or do I now have to worry about the FAA busting me for operating a turbine powered aircraft w/ a type rating?

    C182 24V heated pitot - interchangeable with C172S?

    Looking at your pictures, the top one has one wire, the bottom one has two. They also dont seem to be compatible terminals, even if you did only use one of the two wires.

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    Interesting position you're in. I would suggest that finding a woman who wants to marry you and whom you like is not a very common thing. It takes time and effort. Its not really something you can just wake up one morning and say "You know, I think I'll got find the love of my life today" and...

    psychiatrist or HIMS psychiatrist

    @aviationenthusiast, perhaps go back and read the previous responses. Particularly the one by user bbchien. The HIMS psychiatrist will be able to help you navigate what you're needing. And there are 2 of them reasonably close to your current location, again per user bbchien who knows the...

    2024 PPL written test

    Over land it will usually be military training related. They no doubt try to contain it to their little piece of dirt, but it does affect the civilian side some. There will usually be a post or two here on PoA about the 'children of the magenta line' not having a clue how to switch to VOR...

    2024 PPL written test

    Not the point of either your post or the thread, but I would like to point out that VORs are not going away. A lot are, but the plan is to keep a minimum amount of VORs running to still make it a viable navigation system. This is important as GPS outages have and do occur. Sometimes planned...

    Fact or Fiction: FAA Continues to Remove Barriers/Reduce Stigma for Mental Illness in Pilots

    I admire your determination to try to find a way to prove that the individual is taking their medication. Sure, MOST people this affects would be excited to have a solution available and willing to jump through the hoops that gets them in the air. However, you're forgetting one thing, and that...

    Which torque wrench?

    My preference would be for the split beam type because: - you're not applying pressure to the part that changes the tension, so there is no way to realistically change your torque setting while using it. - you don't have to remember to reset it to lowest value when storing it. but when I price...
