Hammond Aviation PNR Carbon Charlie Headset

Description

Hammond Aviation Charlie PNR Carbon Headset

Long lessons and cross-countries are hard enough on your neck without a heavy headset making it worse. The Charlie solves that problem the simple way: carbon fibre ear shells that cut 23 dB of cockpit noise while keeping total weight to just 11 oz (312 g) — noticeably lighter than the classic trainers most students start with.

Because it’s passive noise reduction, there’s nothing to charge and no batteries to die mid-flight. Preflight is: put it on. That reliability is exactly why PNR remains the smart choice for flight training, where a dead battery at short final isn’t an option.

You still get the features that matter day to day: a rotatable flex boom mic that works on either side, independent volume controls for each ear, a stereo/mono switch for older intercoms, and an AUX input so you can run music or ForeFlight audio alerts from your phone or tablet on longer legs.

Hammond backs the Charlie with a 5-year warranty from your purchase date — no registration paperwork required — and they’re a Canadian company, so support doesn’t involve cross-border shipping.
