I was doing pattern work recently with a crummy old headset with poor 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	seals. I was expecting just to be annoyed by the extra noise (and of course, I was) but what really surprised me was how much information was in the wind noise -- as I sped up, slowed down, applied flaps, etc. I could really hear it even without looking at the airspeed indicator. It made me feel more in-tune with the airplane, and I liked it a lot, in the pattern. Probably a lot less attractive during cruise. I can't think of a way to achieve this effect on purpose with a decent headset. It seems like jamming somthing under the ear cup would be uncomfortable and bad for the seals. Is there anybody else who likes to listen to their airplane *sometimes*, without giving up the radio? How do you do it? I'll be buying a new headset next week at Oshkosh.  |
