ANR headsets ----any experience with the in-ear type?

The LSs are not bulletproof but their customer support is outstanding.
The passive NR is poor but so are most ANRs. I carry an old pair of
DCs just in case something goes wrong with the LS that a fresh battery
won't fix on the spot. The 30-3g has outstanding stereo sound for
music usage, plus automatic mute when a radio transmission goes either
in or out.

I doubt that in-ear types provide good ANR even if they exist. Heavy
ear canal usage can also produce irritation and ear infections, though
you can probably prevent the latter by changing foam pads often and
making sure they are always clean before use. Also, you wouldn't want
to use in-ear types for passengers because of possible infection
transmission.

In my defense, from reading this newsgoup I have found comfort in the
fact that many student pilots have difficulty finding the airport on
their first solo X-C.

And thank you to that pilot flying the Mooney at around 1:30PM on
January 18, 2004, headed into MOD whoever you are, wherever you are.
Without you I may never have actually found the airport.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like this guy.
So Jon, have you found MOD yet? grin

An old friend of mine got lost on his first solo cross-country. He tried to
land at an airport that he found. Made is final approach with the wind at
his tail just as another plane was taking off...right at him. Suddenly my
friend broke left as he realized they were going to collide but, the other
guy realizing that they were going to collide broke right at exactly the
same time.

All my friend could say was, thank god the other pilot was much better than
me! The other pilot saw what my friend did and immediately banked hard
right...and they missed by less than what anybody would consider "mess your
shorts close."

My friend continued to land. Got out of the aircraft and stumbled shaking
very badly over to two old guys with his chart. A chart which nobody could
read because it too was shaking so badly. Then he asked....."Where am I?"

The guy eventually got his PPL and then did a continued flight into IMC. He
survived that too after tieing up the very busy airspace for more than 30
minutes. I believe he quit after that flight and hasn't flown in about
18-20 years.
