Anyone ever find a device to allow you to listen to an mp3 player in the aircraft without plugging into the intercomm?

Try using a radio adapter and then listening over the ADF. . .If they can broadcast over AM.

I got some parts at radio shack but need to put a resistor in the input line as it pretty much drowns out the radio when I turn on the Mp3 player. It's a Y adapter with a mono adapter that it plugs into the Mp3 player. Whole thing cost about $6.

Of course, this is in the cessna as I wouldn't dream of doing this at work....

What a stupid thing to risk getting fired over.

Just listen to 650 AM anytime you're within about a 300 nm range of BNA.

The flight may only be 35 minutes long, but the ground stop is at least an hour!

Fired? Their is nothing that prohibits listening to music, out of sterile, in our operating manual. It is not specifically prohibited. I know, I know, but that's my argument and my ipod is stikin to it!

Seriously though, I see absoulutely no harm in it. Lighten up francis'!

Allegedly, one of our guys broadcast his moozik over the PA during boarding on accident. Got himself a ticket to the carpet- and a heckuva funny story. I think it was Iron Maiden or some other atrocious aural icepick buttrock, causing a pax to write a nastygram.

Try a lightspeed ANR headset. It has a built in amp that you can plug your MP3 directly into without any additional hardware. Awesome sound quality and a great headset in noisy cockpits. That is of course what I've heard from other people...I would never listen to music while flying.

I would buy the lightspeed just for that reason if I wasn't in love with my sennheisers. They are sooooo comfortable!

That ps-engineering device somebody posted looks like it might actually be the trick, kinda expensive though.

Thanks.

You guys really listen to music on 35 minute flights?
