| Subject: | Re: Yak/CJ minimum requirements |
well said... in other words.... there is a difference between minimum requirements
and competitive qualifications to fly any aircraft...
Minimum criterion will generally consist of quantitative data, i.e., hours, aircraft,
ratings, education, etc. ....but this doesn't guarantee a pilot's readability
to safely fly a specific type of airplane after several hours of training.
Certainly having a minimum requirement list is a way to start... but each
pilot should keep in the agenda a periodic review of his/her competitive qualification
levels and look up for performance check-rides with a certified instructor
to assure there is total proficiency. For a qualified instructor, it
may be relatively easy to find out who is ready to fly a Yak/Cj and what the remaining
general competitive qualifications be for a safe operation under unknown
circumstances.
All pilots are different and it's better not to compare yourself to others or base
your knowledge on a standard number of hours required to all. Each pilot
should keep in consideration that what works for others may not be enough for
himself, even if he/she does have a large number of flying hours in other types.
Start out by meeting the recommended minimums for the insurance company and the
specific association and strive to be the best pilot you can be so that you will
one day become competitive. If you believe you are already competitive, get
out there and find ways to get your skills reviewed. Continue to update your
knowledge with practice and further study making sure that "all the fields
are filled in" which demonstrate that you meet the requirements to fly safe.
This should be fun and not considered as an obligation... after all we love learning
anything related to aviation.

(Some people should never get in an airplane). But ten 10 hours seem to be normal
to me for a typical rated pilot. The CJ & Yak require a little more time
for a zero time guys to learn than say a Cub/Champ, requiring better understanding
of their systems. However one thing for certain, an instructor who does
not cover the total stall series in either aircraft is tantamount to being a
killer.

Here that isn't always true in our private sector. Something are missed
or skipped. I really believe that we've suffered some fatalities because of
lapes in training. These like almost all other aircraft are slow, cross controled,
low altitude, spin entries. The bain of the low time pilot, miss trained
pilot.

| Subject: | Warning - New Bose Line Power Cables Only 3' Long! |
Just a heads up to those installing or planning on installing Bose X or A20 Active
NR headsets using the inline power jacks. Specifically these units:
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/aviation_headsets/accessories/headset_installkit_acc.jsp
They now come with only 3 feet of cable! Three years ago they came with 6 feet
of cable and I thought at the time that 6 feet seemed a little short. Now 3
feet? What idiot penny pincher in Bose marketing decided "three feet should be
plenty". Here's quote from the Bose web page above: "Three-foot wiring harness
with six pin female connector allows for *placement in locations throughout
aircraft*." WTF? On what planet will a 3-foot hardness reach "locations throughout
the aircraft". That's just plain stupid.
If these were third rate, el-cheapo headsets, I'd write it off to penny pinching,
but for a >$1000 product that you then have to spend an additional $32 for
an installation cable, cheaping out on the cable length is just simply unacceptable.
I have the jacks mounted in the center of the RV-8, and the cables don't even reach
to the righthand control console. What does Bose expect people to do; splice
the wire? That's ridiculous! What would somebody installing in the back
seats of a 4 or 6 place airplane do?
Of course I wrote a scathing email to Bose Support just now. I'm sure they will
write back with "for most of our customers, three feet is sufficient".
Given this direction within Bose, I'd definitely consider the new Sennheiser S1
if I had to do it over again. Additionally, the Sennheiser's Bluetooth supports
the A2DP, AVRCP STEREO profiles. The Bose A20's Bluetooth does NOT support
stereo. It must have been the same marketing moron that dictated 3' cables
that decided not to include stereo Bluetooth profiles. Unbelievable.
