Headset music

Neil Bratney wrote in message ...
Hello all,

I'm getting set for my second solo cross country in training for my PP.
Looking at my headset, my Lightspeed 30-3G has a port on the ANR box
where I can attach a portable CD player for music. The headset is
supposed to automatically mute the music when comm comes in from the radio.

This sounds like a good idea to enhance my long distance flying
experience, but I'm just concerned that I'm going to miss important ATC
instructions. Or worse, that Omaha Approach is going to get an earful
of Foo Fighters or Pearl Jam when I transmit out to them!

So does anyone have experience with headsets like this? Do they work as
well as advertised? Any tips?

Thanks a ton,
Neil Bratney


If you consider music for the solo xc in the pp course,
I don't want to think what will you try when you have 100 hrs,
maybe a nap in the rear seat while on autopilot ???
Keep your head clear consentrate on the flight,piloting,recalculate
drift,
time your checkpoint,look for traffic,compare ground references to the
sectional chart,checklist your self again and again,check your fuel
burn and
so on,... show a good judgment.
Be safe and you will be around to play with the "aviation toys" long
after
you earn your certificate.

I wonder what your CFI think about it ??
