Fellow Allegro-Listers,

Talking with a light aircraft owner, I was told that some of his friends
experienced
a low frequency noise in the headset that appeared to be related to the
flashing action
of the strobe lights during flight. I will soon find out if this is true in
my case also.

Did anyone have this experience with an Allegro aircraft?

Hugh, Amy and Brad,

Thanks for your comments. I will check on the items you mentioned. It's
obvious that the propeller tracking check is a must and rather
easy to perform.

If I listen carefully with the engine at idle I can hear a small click when the strobes flash, but otherwise I don't notice anything. I can also hear a slight noise sometimes when the transponder replies.

Of course that could be different for each plane depending on the radio, intercom and headsets you're using.

In my case I'm using an iCom A200 radio, Flightcom intercom, KT76A transponder and Telex ANR4150 headset.
