Pilot Adam Fuller (left) tested three headsets while at the controls of a Bombardier Challenger 605, a Cessna Citation II, and a Citation Ultra. I could have spotted those earcups and boom microphone from a mile away. It was like a beam of light sent directly from the heavens. He opened the trunk of his dad’s blue Oldsmobile that was backed into our narrow driveway, and there it lay: safely resting on top of the luggage, the unmistakably cool aviation headset. He was several years older and a budding pilot himself. I was about 12 years old when my cousin came to visit from Ottawa for a family member’s wedding. I often kept my dreams quiet because I didn’t want someone to tell me I couldn’t do it. I knew I wanted to be like “Maverick,” but I always thought being at the controls of an airplane was just a bit out of reach. Growing up in Kitchener, I had no idea I could actually make this fantasy a reality. Spending a hot summer weekend at Airshow London, Ontario, every year with my parents and friends sealed my fate. Like most aviators, I dreamed of being a pilot since I was very young, around the age of four. Here are the results! (Find the headset score charts at the end of this article.)
Estimated reading time 13 minutes, 47 seconds.Įditor’s note: Private Air chief pilot, Adam Fuller, reviewed three leading aviation headsets over a two-month period - the Lightspeed Zulu 3, Bose A20, and David Clark DC One-X.
