I think it was Guppy who suggested that just plugging in and trying a headset to test it was good enough i.e. he found it appropriate to ridicule any suggestion that more elaborate testing might be necessary or that communications headsets should be subject to any rigorous log of serviceability. Fair enough.
Fair enough? It's the proper testing method, and the only one available to the pilot. Plug it in, test to see if it works. Perhaps you don't know this, because you are not a pilot.
His imagination and undoubted experience just haven't been stretched as far as a rogue headset (re-)discovered at an awkward enough moment for it to be a big deal.
Which is why, as I have indicated repeatedly, I always carry an identical spare. Your reading comprehension lacks.
You here expounding at great length on the need for headsets and hearing protection and noise levels in cockpits, and you're not a pilot...is this true?
I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that F50 pilots would wear full cupped headsets even in the cockpit?
You make a lot of
assumptions, but without a leg upon which to stand. You should stop.
