Noise - The need for wearing a headset has to go.


Oh you kids. When I got my PP-SEL back in 79 nobody at the airport wore
headsets. Of course we are all deaf today. But I don't see headsets as a
negative. Kids grow up wearing bike helmets and iPod ear buds. They are
used to wearing stuff on their heads.


I hear ya, I soloed in 71, and got my PP in 72. So spent a lot of years
flying without them too. If fact, if I could still rent aircraft with decent
overhead speakers, I probably still wouldn't use them. But it seems most
rental aircraft have the speakers blown out from renters wearing ear plugs,
and cranking up the volume.

But from my experience, noise levels have always been a consideration to a
lot of the people I have introduced to GA. And the world is becoming more
demanding of creature comforts every day.
