Excellent! Wonder if you can include audio direct from headphones too?

Hi there - thanks for the comment - the longer version that we are working on has the Intercom/ radio as well!

do you still fly the md 500e

[@ABHelicopters]

Hi Dylan, I am happy to say that yes - I do still fly the 500, and we have an exciting adventure later this year in the aircraft to look forward too!

[@user-up8th6hc8b]

Can you fly it with 1 pilot?

[@ABHelicopters]

Yes the Robinson helicopters are all single pilot certified

Something about a turbine that requires a key that I just can’t get comfortable with.

[@ABHelicopters]

True - but even the 500 has a key 🔑!

[@ottergreen8190]

[@ABHelicopters]

Down the left hand side of the console ?
