INCREASING UTILITY
BY DAVE HIRSCHMAN, EDITOR AT LARGE
1. Oregon Aero SoftSeat portable cushion
This is a lot to pay for a cushion, but not being in pain while
flying makes long trips a lot more enjoyable. I'm short, so I use
the 2-inch thickness and find it fits well in most general aviation
airplanes. It takes up a lot of luggage space, so I started carrying it
on for airline trips instead of packing it. I felt kind of silly carrying it
through airline terminals, but then I started using it in airline seats
and liked it even more. $193 and up
oregonaero.com
2. Clarity Aloft in-ear headset
In-ear headsets aren't as good as high-end active noise reduction
units in loud GA cockpits, but I bring mine on just about every trip
as a backup. If your ANR headset's batteries die, or the power plug
in the airplane doesn't match, the backup headset works in a pinch.
Clarity Aloft and CQ are my favorites. $525 and up
clarityaloft.com
Also consider: Bose ProFlight Series 2 (bose.com) and Quiet
Technologies Halo (quiettechnologies.com) headsets
3. Personal locator beacon
ACR's ResQLink 400 PLB is waterproof, and it floats. I cheaped out
the first time I bought a PLB and got a non-waterproof unit. Then I
ended up making a series of long trips over water with the PLB in a
zip-lock baggie. Register your PLB or it won't do any good. $500

4. Revere ComfortMax flotation device
Get one that's U.S. Coast Guard approved, light, and
comfortable to wear under a seatbelt harness. Fishing and
boating stores carry a similar item; just be sure to get a color
that's visible. If aviation-specific PFDs are back ordered from the
usual sources, Bass Pro Shops has an almost identical item in
stock. $83.85 and up
aircraftspruce.com
5. Sentry ADS-B receiver
Sentry has incredible battery life and connects to your iOS
device easily. Remember that it only works with ForeFlight-
not with Garmin Pilot. $299 and up
sportys.com
Also consider: Garmin GDL 52 (garmin.com)
AOPA Pilot Gear Special Ops fleece tactical jacket. $115
pilotgear.aopa.org
DAVE'S PRO TIP: Use a Flyboys
Defender helmet bag to carry your
gear. It's a light, rugged bag that seems
bottomless. $39.95
