Clarity Aloft Aviation Headset Video Review

***View this video in all its High Definition glory!

The Clarity Aloft Aviation Headset was one of the first noise cancellation headsets to use passive noise reduction technology instead of the conventional active noise reduction (battery operated).  The way this is achieved is by using an in the ear design versus the over the head, over the ear aviation headset style you’re used to seeing.

Because this headset is in the ear instead of over the ear, it provides noise reduction in the same manner in which a set of normal earplugs does – simply squeeze the ear tips and insert them into your ears and *tadah* the noise is greatly reduced.  Also, this means no more messing around with batteries or coming back to a dead headset because you forget to turn the noise-cancellation off.

I’ve personally been using this Clarity Aloft Aviation Headset for over 5 years now with roughly 2,200 hours of flight time logged on them.  So when I say they are comfortable and amazing it’s because they really are!

That being said, here’s some of the headsets features:

  1. Passive noise reduction (no batteries)
  2. Noise canceling microphone
  3. Replaceable ear tips
  4. Low-profile, feather weight headband
  5. Auxiliary audio input (MP3 player)
  6. No painful head-crushing, clamping effect
  7. All day comfort

AeroWeather iPhone App Video Review

***View this video in all its High Definition glory (trust me, it’s better).

I downloaded the AeroWeather iPhone app a while back and have been using is frequently.  It’s nice for those times when you just need a quick peek at the current weather conditions and don’t feel like launching Safari to hit up ADDS.

Here are some of the features of this application:

  1. Airport selection options:  choose from a worldwide airport directory, search by ICAO code, or find nearest airports using the location service on your phone
  2. View METARS and TAFS (reference ONLY – no mention of QICP certification by application programmer)
  3. View airport details like UTC time, airport latitude/longitude, variation, elevation, sunrise/sunset times, and more
  4. Supports both Metric and US units
  5. Choose raw or decoded results
  6. View additional airport information on Airnav.com and NavMonster.com

Watch the video above for a complete application demo and tutorial.
