Re: Bose Debuts New A30 Noise Canceling Headset

Headband sticks out much more than A20 in area just above earcup. No thanks. I prefer the A20s low profile.
They look like Micky Mouse Headband - sticking with A20s.

Re: Prebuy// sale experience

I purchases 2 used aircraft from lifestyle. You can and should ask for any addendums to a contract to make you comfortable before you sign. Don’t ever rely on a handshake. For example on my deposit contract - I had this added —> Special Contingency : Buyer has 10 days from receipt of logbook entries...

Re: Prebuy// sale experience

I purchased 2 aircraft through lifestyle aviation and I have had nothing but great experiences with that entire team. Obviously, I have not read your contract, but my contracts both clearly spelled out option to cancel during pre-buy without losing the deposit. If you didn’t like the contract then w...

FIS-B Wx

I think the precip FIS-B is still fundamentally the same as internet based NEXRAD - but at far lower resolution. In-air data is being sent to you via 978Mhz signal and is severely bandwidth limited - thus the crappy MFD weather image. How to find a crappy, low res nexrad on the internet is anyones g...

Re: Buying a first aircraft help

1) Go on FAA website and run an incident report lookup. 2) Ask for a Scanned maintenance log and sit down with your local AP to review it line by line. 3) Make sure you pick the pre-buy AP - do not fall into trap of using the owners recommended or onsite one. 4) Highly recommend using AOPA title ser...

Re: DA40 Home Sim Components?

I did an in depth sim setup for msfs2020. Prior to MS, I used the exact setup on Xplane with much success. Possibly you will find this link helpful.

Re: Jeering siren noise in headsets when COM activated

Electrical Gremlins are the worst . Check that your headset is set to stereo (not mono). Another thing to try is to use a stopwatch to verify how many seconds after powerup this occurs and when it goes away. If its consistently the same then it could be one of the Electrical modules coming up online...
