Airline Pilot Training takes a lot of time, make sure you have a comfortable headset for your training!

The RA980 headset does it all and then some! This general aviation headset boasts active noise reduction, bluetooth cell phone and music streaming, and is engineered from the finest materials including true carbon fiber.

With a noise reduction rating of 26dB, the RA980 provides ANR hearing protection. It is powered by two AA batteries and the control module has a power indication light so you can always know how much battery life you have left. In the event of the batteries going completely dead, the headset is still able to provide passive noise reduction with a rating of 20dB.

The control module also houses everything you need to control your bluetooth auxiliary functions including bluetooth pairing, answering phone calls and adjusting music volume. It even allows you to set your mode to radio priority where auxiliary functions are dimmed when a radio transmission comes through, no priority where all channels are open and heard equally or radio only where auxiliary functions are turned off completely. An auto shut-off will turn the bluetooth off after 5 minutes of no use.

The RA980 was crafted from high-quality materials including leather ear seals and true carbon fiber earcups. With a weight of only 10.88oz, the RA980 might be the lightest headset you will ever wear. A full-flex, rotating mic boom allows you to wear the mic on the left or right side and position it in a comfortable spot in front of your lips while the noise-cancelling electret mic sends your message loud and clear.

The RA980 headset is the top of the line headset you are looking for that will knock out the competition in terms of price. Backed by a 7-Year warranty, you won’t regret flying with the Rugged Air RA980 General Aviation Headset.

The post Discovery Flight appeared first on Race City Flight Operations.

Discovery Flights are one of the best ways explore general aviation and to start your journey as pilot!  A Discovery Flight is like a mini flight lesson, it’s an introduction into this amazing life our students and instructors get to experience every day.  By stepping out of your comfort zone, you’re not just soaring in the skies; you’re expanding your perspective and opening yourself up to new experiences.  Whether you are interested in trying flying for the first time, curious about getting your private pilot certificate or are looking to start on the career path of flying for the major airlines, our certificated instructors are here to give you the experience of a lifetime.

Prior to taking your flight, your instructor will walk you through preflighting the aircraft to gain a basic understanding of what pilots do before their flight to insure that the aircraft is in airworthy condition.  During the flight, the person taking the discovery flight will get a chance to take the controls under the watchful guidance and discretion of our flight instructor.  Your introductory flight will be approximately 45 minutes, but plan for a little over an hour.

This flight time from your Discovery Flight can be entered in a temporary logbook and will count toward the 40 hour FAA training requirement when you continue training. Please note that Discovery Flights are NOT scenic tours. They are only for individuals genuinely curious about learning to fly. However, additional lesson time can be purchased at our normal rates after enrollment and proof of citizenship.

 

Discovery Flights are $250 per flight, but…

You get $100 back on the day of your solo!

The student at the controls gets the credit, can’t be given to anyone else, and is not returned through cash or any equivalent currency other than account credit in FlightSchedulePro. The student must start flying with us within 6 months of the discovery flight.

Are you thinking about a discovery flight but want to see what it’s like? Afraid of small airplanes? Watch a full length discovery flight before you decide to come out!

Call our office to schedule the actual flight. Call us if you have any questions. 704.662.6227

Must be 15 years or older. Discovery flight gift certificates are valid for 1 year from purchase.

This is the best ice, in a 3 pound bag, ready for your adventure-no matter where it takes you! The bag has a string tie, so it easily opens and closes when you’re done. Order the number of bags you need, we’ll have them ready for you to pickup in 30 minutes!
