Pilot Things I Would Want
Posted by Jeffrey on December 8th, 2009
Everyone has a wish list. Pilots have a wish list too. If I could have anything “piloty,” this is what I would want for Christmas:
+ Vertex VXA-710 “Spirit” NAV-COM Transceiver – The multiple capabilities of the VXA-710 Spirit yield unmatched operating and monitoring opportunities for the owner on the go! Plus you can use it at airshows to follow all the action!
+ REFURB: Sennheiser HMEC-45-KA ANR Headset – With NoiseGard® active noise compensation, this lightweight headset is ideal for use in all jet cockpits. I love my Sennheiser HMEC-25 KA but if I could get a whole new headset, this is the one!
If you would like to see more REFURBISHED headsets at ridiculously low prices, click here and type “REFURB” in the search box.
+ Aviation Action 4-DVD Set – Packed with breathtaking footage and aerial performances of some of the world’s greatest pilots. I never can get enough of “pilot stuff” and as a special treat, I would love to have this set to watch of overnights.
+ Garmin GPSMAP 496 (Americas) – This “know-it-all” mini-Multi-Function Display (MFD) puts more power and information at your fingertips than any other portable handheld GPS in the history of aviation. This thing just rocks!
+ Torgoen T6 E6B/Zulu Time Watch – Black Leather, Silver Case, Orange Face- Attractive and functional swiss movement Torgoen watch combines Zulu time movement with E6B flight computer. Again, here is something I will probably never own but will always dream of having. I always have trouble converting to Zulu.
Well, we can all wish, can’t we?
To Your Flying Success…and Happy Holidays,
Jeffrey

I used to fly with a Garmin 396 with XM weather. It honestly was a transition when I came to the airlines and had to get used to flying without a “big picture” overview of the weather. Those things improve safety tenfold.
