Is there a cable that connects Iphone's to your headset?
 

Iphones seem to be the choice of most pilots, there must be a cable out there that is capable of connecting to your headset?

Bluetooth on my zulu's :8

Depends on what headset you have, for the ones that have an aux connection, usually comes with a little 3.5mm jack cable - that would suffice for an iphone.

Bluetooth on the Zulu's or new Bose, or the Blulink unit. There is no cable available.

As PyroTek said. Use a 3.5mm connector to the aux in port. Blu tooth works but uses a lot of the phones' battery.

Be aware that I believe CASA is going to make use of such devices either totally illegal or restricted use in flight.

I've never got around to organising some music for my pax and I....Something appropriate; "The blue Danube Waltz?" Eighteen Twelve finale? Verdi Requieme?

Or would beethovens last movement be more appropriate/....:E

Why? Why? Why? (Needed to make message more than 10 characters long)

Where is the evidence for this?

The more I read the more it looks like the exact opposite is on the cards, including systems allowing passengers to use their mobiles in airliners.

To the original poster, there is a number of units on the market that allow you to do this. For example Flightcell 2Go and others.

Evidence? What evidence? You want evidence? You can't handle the evidence!

A little reading of the POH for a glass cockpit Cessna 182 indicates that most of the Garmin glass is there for "alerting only" and it is prohibited to rely on many of the features for actual navigation. That POH also contains FAA rules on when iPods, etc., must be turned off (Takeoff and Landing).

Assuming CASA will decide that this is a lilly livered approach pandering to pilots, I wonder if CASA might decide that these rules don't go far enough.

..So when you visit the CASR 91 project page you see this......



Am I cynically over reacting? Is my iPhone a crutch to allow me to avoid "real" navigation with pencil, clock, ruler and chart? Real men don't use GPS. My girlfriend gives me "strict" discipline if I plead with her! Does CASA want to get out the hair brush too?


I welcome opinions.


Civil Aviation Safety Authority - CASR Part 91 - General operating and flight rules

The Zulus come with a 3 mm jack and cable for plugging into the AUX input, fits the iphone.

Flightcell 2go only makes a cable suitable for normal phone jacks, anyone have a specific link to a product?

I hear on the radio this arvo that there is a theory that NSW pedestrians are being killed more often because they are listening to music players instead of paying attention to what's going on around them. Stop, Look, Listen was quoted, with the Listen part now appearing to be missing.

While reading "industry related material" in CTA cruise is fair game, I hope you are not bopping to your ipod when airborne when I'm around. :cool:

So, I cant read the paper either Bloggsy?

Just because something is "industry related" does that mean its any less of a distraction?

What if I listen to a "industry related" podcast while youre around? Is that OK?

Mindless.:yuk:

I was under the impression headsets like the Bose or Lightspeed cut the music input when there is radio traffic?

they do, they cut the music whenever there is a signal from your/pax mike, the PTT button is depressed or the com receives a transmission. annoying when your getting into your music, and start singing to yourself, then silence for a few seconds.. :}

Yeah the Zulu's have a button you can press to enable or disable the function where it quietens the music during inbound transmissions.

I was interested in receiving calls rather than listening to music

Is this the same CASA that advises use of such portable electronic devices in a radio failure?:}

They do? I must hang out with the wrong crowds...;)

iPhone AKA flyPhone never heard of the saying?

Nope.....:E
