Default What GA needs

becoming more demanding of creature comforts every day.


No Sh!t, how do you think Bose gets away with selling $1000 headsets.


But if people will pay $1000 for headsets, what would they pay for an
aircraft that doesn't require them?

And how many more people would be attracted to GA, if they didn't have to
decide between noise - and the discomfort, cost and inconvenience of
headsets. And before you answer, consider the battle in the motorcycle
community over helmets.

I really believe most pilots today, are pilots because they love to fly. And
most would continue to fly even if they had to wear a space suit. But we
will never know how much noise, vibration and inconvenience has handicapped
aviation's ability to compete with other pursuits, until we have eliminated
them.
