I've got and XM radio "Roady" that I use in the plane. News, Weather, Sports
and lots of Music (uninterrupted). Works Great.

Is it allowed to listen to music while at the commands of an aircraft?
Is so, do you?

What else do you do during long flights once auto-pilot is engaged? Do
you just take time to watch the landscapes?

XM satellite radio. The only way to go.

Sure, I can get FM stations for about a 200 mile radius. But then you
are listening to commercials and songs you don't like. When I can't
find a good song from the 80 or so music channels I go to the comedy
channel. There have been many times I have been laughing so hard while
driving I had to wipe the tears from my eyes so I could still see the
road. Or maybe I tune up ESPN Radio, or Fox News, etc. Broadcast radio
is dead, just like braodcast TV. In ten years everybody will have this.

Autopilot?

That too. One of the advantages of high-wing aircraft.

Sorry, George -- in your case, that would be your subconscious. :~)

Oh... You must mean my stepson (here, Peter; your plane). He's not engaged, though.
He's only 15, and we want him to wait a while before he gets married.

XM Radio in the cockpit?? Whatever happened to the days of
just "getting away from it all"?

I have the opertunity every now and again to fly an SR 20 which has a
great Creative lab's MP3 setup which cuts in and out if COMS recieve
(including internal so if you have a chatty passenger you may miss all
the good bits) Its a nice way to fly, flight following with autopilot
engaged (the plane does everything but make the coffee) you just need
to look out!.

The three "M's". It's either and or, music, munching, and the mile high
club.

I only dream of the other things I could do if only I had an autopilot.
