Student Pilot Required Items and Recommendations

Hello all,

I was looking at the list of required items to begin training with ATP. I am starting to invest in some of these items. I noticed two items of importance are a headset and iPad.

I can afford both items of course, but my question is whether I should get a basic headset and an iPad with a large memory like 64 GB and above, or should I spend more on a midrange iPad and a really good ANR headset? From a professional pilot’s perspective, which one would you spend more money on?

Thanks in advance!

Christopher

Christopher,

As you may or may not be aware (but should be), ATP requires a great deal of self-study to be successful in preparation for a career in aviation. With that in mind there are literally DOZENS of threads on this forum discussing headsets and iPads. I recommend you read through a few of them and then come back with specific questions if you have any.

Yes. I just found what I was looking for. Sorry about the premature post. I literally found what I needed right after I posted. Oops. I better add the search feature to my next pre-post checklist.

Please disregard this post.

Thanks,

Christopher,

No apology necessary. Never hurts to ask, just as I said don’t hurt to take a look either. Good practice :slight_smile:
