Where to buy GA pilot equipment in Singapore?
Hi all,
Can anyone advise me on where one can buy GA pilot equipment e.g. headsets, CRP5/CR2, kneeboards etc? I have tried searching the Yellow Pages as well as Googling but have not turned up anything so far. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

GA suppliers are not difficult to find at all, if you ask the right people, eg your club.
The logical first stop - your friendly local neighbourhood flying club, eg Seletar Flying Club:
http://www.seletar-flying-club.org/shop.html.
What good is a flying club if they want to sell you courses but can't supply your equipment needs? Of course they may have a preference to sell stuff to their students / members, that is only natural. Call them, but expect to leave a message. Darshan Singh is not always there, so don't just show up at the club.
Just for fun you can walk around Sim Lim Towers and look for:
Hoan Enterprise
10 Jalan Besar #01-13
Sim Lim Tower
[email protected]
They have David Clark stuff but they are not authorised dealers (very handy to buy from an authorised dealer for warranty purposes).
Other suppliers for the industry (Singapore is a huge base for regional aviation maintenance and repair) but they tend to be not very motivated when it comes to retail situations and they may also not have items ex-stock:
Dowell Aviation Pte Ltd
http://www.dowellaviation.com/
Local Telex headset rep:
Telex Communications (SEA) Pte Ltd
3015A Ubi Road 1 #05-10
Kampong Ubi Industrial Estate
Singapore 408705
Tel: +65 67468760
Fax: +65 67461206
Repair facility for David Clark (your David Clark will fail one day):
Aviation & Electronics Support Pte. Ltd.
http://www.aes-asia.com/
66 Loyang Way
Singapore 508756
Tel: (65) 64812261
Fax: (65) 64811980
AES is one of several dealers listed on:
http://www.davidclark.com/dealers/asia.htm
I had to send my David Clark for repair (whilst under warranty). Just as well I bought it from an authorised dealer (if not the charges would have been several hundred dollars). Done cheerfully and to an exacting standard (every action logged with full service report down to component level). Contact: Edwin Low.
Sennheiser headsets (probably ex-stock):
Prime Aerospace Pte Ltd

In this day of efficient record keeping and retrieval, when required I just dredge out these little bits of info and join them up. One day someone else will benefit, as can be seen.
Years ago there was a pilot shop run by an SQ captain in Penang Road but that's closed down. That was the closest thing us pilots had, to geting all our toys in one place. Now whenever I see stuff I might like to use in the cockpit, I just note it down so that one day I can trawl it out when needed.

I feel a sense of closeness to my primary headset (I've got two) even though my second one is newer and looks nicer. With your own headset, you can modify it, add on cloth ear covers and gel seals(my best combo for luxurious headset comfort), paste funky stickers on the ear cups, fiddle with the mic gain. These are things that shared headsets will never offer you.
I used my flight school's common headsets (ASA brand, CRAP) during my first month of flying, and every so often I was shifting them in-flight because they were gross (oily), gave me hot spots on my ears and never quite conformed to my head. I decided that while you fly, your headset should be the least of your concerns so I went ahead and bought a quality headset (Sennheiser, Telex and Sigtronics are my favourites), and have never looked back.
Go get yourself one, I guarantee you won't regret it. Looking for that one headset that fits you like a glove is a fun journey you will surely enjoy. Furthermore, you're now a professional pilot so you'll be using it much more than a weekend warrior like me, so I am sure you will benefit a lot.

Owning a personal headset is good if you can afford a good one. I'm assuming you are a SIA cadet going to train in Jandakot. For your information, you'll be using a different kind of headset when you reach the Learjet stage. So the headset that you buy now is only good for the Jandakot phase unless you intend to do some GA flying later on. Cheers.

The 'Buses however use a single XLR connector.
