Hi All,
I was wondering if you need to use a special type of headset such as the Micro Avionics headsets for flying 3 axis micro's. I have noticed that the microphones on Microlight headsets have enlarged windshields as compared to the general GA headsets.
I have also seen pilots use David Clarke headsets in microlights, but I couldn't imagine the amount of unwanted noise passing through your ears. It does look rather odd.
The reason I ask is that I am looking for a headset for a 3 axis microlight but it appears that they are much more expensive that normal GA headsets and also rather limited in terms of manufacturers.
Can anyone elaborate on this topic?
Thank you.
Alex
