Music in planes?

[Tom|420]

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?

[Malcolm]

Solo flight is THE best place to listen to good music. I have cd
compilations that I have put together for just that purpose.
The new Lightspeed headsets are a great help- the CD player plugs right into
the battery box. You get great sound that will automatically cut out when
your com frequency receives.

I keep an eye out for traffic, and listen to the radio for calls.
sometimes I will have the ADF on to listen to whatever I can pick up

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

Autopilot?

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

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.

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!.

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

Yes. We have the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in the panel of our '74 Piper
Pathfinder. It makes long flights very much nicer. (The kids can plug
their Walkman into the back, and listen to their own stuff, while Mary and I
crank out some Pink Floyd or Stevie Ray Vaughn!

Speaking along these lines, do any of you folks download music off the
internet? I've not tried it, but I'd like to burn a couple of new flying
CDs, and downloading sounds a lot easier than shopping in a music store.

Any recommended sites? Are they still free, or do they charge now?

Thanks!

Sure.

> Is so, do you?

Sometimes. We have an intercom with two music inputs, so rear
seat and front seat can listen to different music. If the intercom
is set to 'all' music will cut out for every radio reception
(and I want it that way), so if we're flying in a high-radio-traffic
area I usually don't bother. On routes and times where we can fly
for hours and without hearing another soul on freq (except for me,
asking ATC for occasional radio checks to make sure I've not lost
them) it's great. We have a little MP3 player which can hold
something like 8-9 hrs of music, so I don't have to fiddle with
changing CDs or the like.

Landscapes, don't forget scanning for other traffic. That's the
part that's hard to keep up when the sky is 99.9% empty of other
traffic at your altitude.

Of course it is the "file swappers", not the "downloaders" that are
encountering legal problems. :-)

In what kind of music are you interested? Check-out the following
binary newsgroups:

alt.binaries.sounds."big list of NGs with music"

Also give a listen to www.live365.com for online pseudo-radio staions
that can be captured with a simple audio-capture program. There is
something there for almost any taste in music. I have created several
CDs from their music...and it's free and legal!

I prefer Wagner's "Ride of the Valkeries" when I do my low-level stuff.

[Michael 182]

Jay,

I use iTunes all the time. By default they deliver in an Apple (iPod)
compatible format. Don't know if they can modify to mp3. At first I though
$.99/song would be expensive, but then I realized I no longer buy "CDs",
just the songs I want. A great side benefit is that my 15 year old daughter
and I have found a great meeting place, comparing her music and mine. I
never believed I would come to like rap, but she has won me over on more
than a few songs. OTOH, I still can't get her to listen to John Coltrane...

Regarding burning CD's - you may migrate away from that as well. It is much
simpler to simply carry your MP3 player or iPod with you into the plane and
plug it in. If you don't have a plug for it a $25 dollar device from Radio
Shack will allow it to play through your FM radio, assuming your plane has
one.

There are plenty of free sites, some of which are actually legal, if the
band allows free distribution. Grateful Dead are probably the most well
known in this arena. Many of the free sites are, in addition to being
illegal (Kazaa and it's clones) loaded with software that generates spyware.
Active use requires some sophistication to avoid becoming a spam magnet.

All in all, iTunes is a great deal. Large music library, well written
interface (as expected from Apple) and no concerns about breaking the law.

The audio panel's supplemental section of my C172SP's POH states that the
audio input must be turned off before beginning an approach (or some such
words).

> Is so, do you?

During cruise flight on longer XC trips, I bring along an MP3 Jukebox,
which plugs into the Aux input of the audio panel, and listen to either
Jazz or easy listening music. It takes very little brain cycles to listen
to the music so it is not at all distracting to flying or communicating.

One time I tried listening to stand-up comedy on the player, but that was
very distracting and I quickly stopped. :)

My wife does, but she's not flying the plane. Occasionally I'll
listen to a station on the ADF, but that's it for me.

Personally I love looking out the window. I used to love it when I
just flew commercial. Now that I have my pilot's license, I've got
bigger windows to look out of! I compare the sectional to the real
world, match up traffic with radio calls, study the ground, and
basically have fun looking out the window. My own view is over half
the fun of flying is seeing things from above.

Other than the risks of getting whacked by the music industry?

WinMX (www.winmx.com) is free, but Apple I understand is working on a system
of about 50 cents or a buck per download. Stay away from Kazaa and most the
others which are spyware and security risks.

If you already have a bunch of CD's, you might get a "ripper" program such
as AudioGrabber (http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/) which let's you pull
songs off your CD's and turn them into MP3's. From there, burn your own CD's
and make each CD "Jay's Favorites". A CD will typically hold about 20-22
songs per disk in regular music format (decompressed).

If your CD player is capable, you can also burn about 200 or more MP3's onto
one CD. Even better is a CD that will play MP3's off a CD/RW. Then you can
change what's on the disk at will.

I don't think any Audio Panels will play MP3s or CD/RW's, but several
"Walkman" type CD players do and you can use the AUX input on the AP to do
it.

I prefer listening to audio books and old radio shows (The Shadow
knows!). I have an MP3/CD player that plugs into the intercom and
automatically mutes the audio when the aircraft radio starts talking.
I can store anywhere from 10 to 40 hrs. of audio on each CD
(depending on the sound quality), so I don't have to change discs in
flight.

Hi, I've been following for a while, but feel constrained to post
here. I soar with a guy who is the single most straight-laced fellow I
know. He is a Delta pilot and is very formal. He never wears shorts,
calls everyone by their formal appelation...ya know, the kind of guy
who looks like he has a stick up his...well, you know?

Anyway, we were consuming a few beers and someone put a Jethro Tull
album on the stereo...and when "Locomotive Breath" came on, he told us
that particular song was the single best song he ever listened to when
he was flying B-52's at 400 feet AGL on low level training.

Changed my entire perspective on him and the Air Force.

I like Floyd for my flying pleasure.

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.

The short answer is empirical evidence.

"Wing Leader", by J.E. Johnson, contains an excellent description of the amount
of England that is blocked by the wing of a Spitfire at patrol altitude. From
personal experience, I know that I can't see anything close to what's under me
when flying in an Archer and I know that I have no such problem in my Maule.

Sorry... coming into this thread late.

I'd love to listen to music while I fly, but
it would have to be a system where the readio
cuts out the music. Maybe this was covered,
but I couldn't find a straight answer:

I am a renter, and all my club's planes have
built-in intercoms without an audio input.

I've heard that some headsets have music inputs,
but I have two nice headsets (DC H10.13XL and
DRE6000enr) and don't want to buy another.

Any idea how to do this? Is there a box I can
plug in between my headset and the jacks?

Approved panel mount music systems all have the auto-mute feature. It's
nice, but we usually disable it and choose what PS Engineering calls
"karaoke mode" instead, which keeps the music at a low enough level to hear
radio calls without cutting in and out. Otherwise the danged music cuts out
every time someone smacks their lips in the microphone, which will quickly
drive you batty.

Any portable intercom with an input jack would work.

Dave,
PS Engineering makes a device called "The Muse". It plugs between the
headphone jacks and the headset. Has soft mute built in. Here is a link to

Ah, yes, commercial AM radio, that bastion of
musical purity. Really, my goals were something
higher. I got an iPod for Christmas, and well,
it's pretty amazing. I've got my entire CD collection
on that puppy and when it's set on random play,
it's like my own private commercial-free radio
station.

It looks like others have pointed out that the
toy I'm looking to add to my flight back is
called The Muse. I'll check it out.

Thanks, all!
