Pilot USA has reached a new level of technology with the development of their BluLink wireless headset interface, and pilots across the globe will benefit.
BluLink is a sleek looking device that allows the pilot to interface any Bluetooth capable device to his headset without the use of connecting wires. The system is easy to operate and performs at a high level. The BluLink unit has standard mic and jack plugs that connect to the existing aircraft panel or intercom system. The pilot’s headset plugs are then connected to the corresponding jacks on the BluLink controller. Once everything is connected simply turn on the BluLink system and hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds, then enter the Bluetooth setting on your portable device and pair it to the BluLink system. Besides the ease of connection, the obvious benefits to the BluLink system include minimized wire tangle and confusion in the cockpit, easy operation, high quality sound and performance.
Most pilots are excited about the prospect of minimizing wires in the cockpit. The Blulink system effectively reduces wire tangle and confusion even if an external device is not linked because the system allows the pilot to operate the headset without attaching the plugs directly to the panel or intercom. If a device is linked, the pilot gains the added benefit of operating a cell phone of listening to music through the headset. The BluLink controller is sleek and slender, fitting easily in the palm of a hand and has adequately sized buttons to allow for precise manipulation. Possibly the greatest feature of this system is the high quality of sound that is transferred to the headset. Listening to music through the device is superior to many car audio systems.
The BluLink system will work with any headset, intercom or audio panel, and any Bluetooth capable portable device. Pilot USA makes a version that accommodates general aviation, helicopter, and Bose panel mount plugs. The system is powered by 2 AA batteries and is reported to get up to 25 hours of operation per set of batteries.
Pilot USA has come up with an obvious winner with the BluLink system and pilots are going to be asking for it in pilot shops around the world.
