Common instruments on small aircraft

In practice, I usually just go on flights that are of an acceptable duration in real time, and then fly them in real time. It's true that small aircraft take a long time to get anywhere compared to large jets--but then again they often seem to be much faster than cars (even though their actual speed over the ground isn't that much greater)." But I would consider a factor of 2-3 times faster over the ground as significantly greater.

Harmonicas are best. Saxophones take two hands. Banjos only work in
open cockpits. Don

Well, in a DC3 cockpit,, I could see a 2-row diatonic like a Hohner pokerwork. But I think even a 12-bass PA would be a stretch. In calm air, you could keep the wings level with the rudder pedals for 32 bars, so I guess playing 2-hands is ok if you're trimmed and not maneuvering. Still no trombones, and a glockenspeil would hide the panel. Don
