MONO/STEREO HEADSETS
Stereo or mono headsets are recommended for use in the cockpit of the aircraft.
Using a monaural headset in the jack panel of the cockpit shorts the right headset channel output to ground.
While this does not damage the Audio Panel, a pilot listening on a monaural headset hears only the left channel
in both ears.
