What equipment would I need for flight school (Headsets, flight computers etc.)
Also, How are headsets supposed to feel? I recently slid on some David Clarkes, which felt bulky and made my head tilt back and forward when i turned my head. I was disappointed as a year or two back, I went into a BA 767 that had just landed not too long ago, I went into the cockpit, Captain not there so i took the LHS (Of course!) My dad was standing and chatting with the F/O for abitand i slid on the captains headset (Similar style to the DCs I mentioned earlier) and it felt just fine. Felt so good that I was ready to take that thing out for a ride
. So i'm wondering, Is that something i'll get used to or should I look for lighter headsets when the time comes for me to get my stuff.
Also, whats the most amount of time allowed between your last flight and your checkride?
[Note: A little sidetrack, I have a visitors visa in the U.S., does this make getting a student's visa any easier at all?]
