intercom in CRJ?

[btrthn5n5]

Does the CRJ have an intercom? Just curious. If they do I'm gonna buy a headset with the ears enclosed...if they don't I will have to opt for the open ear kind.

Also...if the CRJ's do have intercoms, are they standard equipment or is every airline different?

Yes, the CRJ has an intercom. I'm pretty sure it's standard

Interesting your asking this considering your current position is "CRJ FO"

 

[btrthn5n5]

very good catch...

I guess I should change it to "Lear FO / CRJ trainee". I start class on the 16th. Last trip in the Lear today!!

...I was pretty excited and changed my profile right away.

Picky

Since we are being Picky....

How about the Ratings?: All?
You have a lighter than air rating?
How bout glider?
Instructor glider?
Helicopter?
Examineer?
AGI IGI?

Hey was it PSA that you are going to work for?
Good Luck.

 

[btrthn5n5]

Nope...not PSA.

If we are going to be REALLY picky.....

I hear it is tough to find Examineers, I think they are like the "boss" Examiners .

Who is PSA?

Get the Telex 750's...and go splurge on some leather ear pieces at radio shack - $10. They cut down the outside noise significantly. I flew 3 years in the CRJ and loved those headsets and would never reccomend those single ear piece ones.

Hmm, Good Idea.

On a side note: I bought a pair of Telex 750's from ebay for $90.00. Beats paying over 200.

Any headset will work

I have been using my Telex ANR headset I used for the props all these years in the CRJ. It is comfortable, so I continue to use it. You could spend a over $200 and get a jet headset or just use any old headset.

Welcome to the CRJ. It is a good bird and you will soon learn how short the runways are in a catagory D no slat plane. The cockpit is comfortable but kinda noisy with the avionics fans whirring and also down low & fast, like 10K and 335kts.

Everybody has their preference, but after trying several headsets I settled on the Telex 750 With the addition of the OregonAero earcups. I think it is www.oregonaero.com . They are about 50 bucks, cut out the fan and wind noise, don't eat any batteries, fold flat on top of your jepps in your bag and are light & comfortable.

BTW, 121 requires headsets with boom mikes below FL180, so I'm sure the interphone is standard in just about all planes these days. At ACA/IDE we use the interphone all the time. Just don't be the gomer that stays hot miked while eating, coughing, or flirting with the FA on interphone.

Enjoy training & good luck!
