Private/Sport Pilot Lessons

Required Materials

I will add to this list as time goes on. If you are taking lessons from me, then you can safely purchase anything on this list without talking to me first. If you shop around and find a better alternative, let me know, and I may let you try it out. If it's a good find, I may add it to the list. There are certain things that aren't available online, so I will let you know what to do about those items. The headsets are pretty much up to you. You'll be stuck with it, so don't feel like you're limited to this list. There are hundreds to choose from, and I can't really list them all here. Also, keep in mind, if you take lessons with someone else, they may have a preference as to what you buy. So, you should speak to them first.

First decide if you want noise canceling or not. If you plan on flying allot, I recommend it. I personally use Bose. If you plan on flying on the weekends, than I highly recommend the David Clarks. David Clark does have one with noise canceling on one of their headsets. I have not used it, so I cannot recommend, but it is a bit cheaper than most with noise canseling, so I will list it.
