Recording cockpit voices
Does anyone know of any adapters or such that would allow hooking up
an audio recorder to record all cockpit communications? ie, both transmissions to ATC and conversations to other passengers. Thanks, Glenn |

Assuming your aircraft has an intercom, you can make a direct-connect cable using Gene Whitt's directions found he http://tinyurl.com/36x3c I typically use a portable intercom that has an audio out jack. I use a patch cord to connect that to either my voice recorder or my video recorder. Having the portable intercom handy also provides a battery-powered backup for the plane's intercom (actually used in that capacity once). -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

aircraftpatchcord.com I think is where I got my cord, but then to get it to
work I had to replace one of the resistors in it with one of the size that Gene Whitt used. I use a cheap Panasonic voice activated tape recorder that will record at 1/3 speed so I can get well over 2 hours on one side of a 90 minute cassette. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "Glenn Westfall" wrote in message ...

cable using Gene Whitt's directions found he http://tinyurl.com/36x3c I've made one of these cables, and they work good. I don't mess with tapes, though. I bought an Olympus DM-1 digital recorder.. With the included 64MB Smart Media, it will record for 10 hours on best quality. Double that if you get a 128MB card. (Which is the max you can use). It also plays back MP3/WMA format music files too. Here's a small .wav clip from one of my recordings: http://tinyurl.com/2ycds -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y |

Get a small microphone from radio snack. Plug it in to the tape recorder and stuff the other end into the ear cup of your headset. |

You don't have to tap into the intercom system. It is so simple that I record every single flight, whether it is useful or not. I have written an article about the setup on my website. http://www.geocities.com/asarangan/aviation (and click on Cockpit Voice Recorders). |

om... I record all my flights with students using a tiny digital recorder. I have a very simple system that works wonderfully. You don't have to tap into the intercom system.

I have written an article about the setup on my website. http://www.geocities.com/asarangan/aviation (and click on Cockpit Voice Recorders). That's pretty cool. Even more straightforwardly, if you have a spare headset and intercom station, you can just give the recorder its own headset, pressing the two ear pieces together with the recorder in between. I think I'll try that next time I fly. --Gary |
