Nathan and I spent some time this afternoon repairing, configuring and testing headsets and helmets in the Arrow and Skyhawk sims. The Skyhawk pilots helmet needed a bit of rewiring and re-soldering, but is now working well. Sadly my GA headset adapter didn’t work, only providing a “buzz” when the mic was touched. Swapped the headset and adapter out with my old faithful PC headset and it all worked beautifully.
Final testing was successful, with Skyhawk pilot and instructor as well as the Arrow pilot all being able to communicate well. Nathan and I went flying and tested the system in “action” 🙂
The helmet also got some TLC and a clean, and had the visor cover removed. Without the cover it looks a bit like an Alpha, so maybe it will stay like that… not sure
