Sorry if I spoil the fun, but don't I remember it is considered poor pilotship to listen to music while flying? ISTR a mention to that effect in a Threvor Tom* book where it says one is technically able to listen to AM broadcast on the ADF.

Though I am an amateur musician, I was never yet relaxed enough at the stick to have room for a single note between my ears whilst piloting. Far too much occupied with the horizon, scanning instruments, R/T, listening for queer noises in the engine, comforting the occasional passenger, looking out for unannounced traffic, enjoying the view, confirming navigation on map and gps and outside view.

But regarding those piloting virtually, I suppose they can legally enjoy virtual music meanwhile.


*or was that Therov Tmoh? Really hard, those new-fangled names.
