I have a couple of questions for all of you Atlas drivers out there: What do you guys use for headsets and does the company provide any? Thanks for all the great advice throughout this chain. Hopefully we are all getting to the shallow end of the pool.

"...all of our aircraft have two sets of Jepps on board.
A lot of guys carry the 26 inch PurdyNeat/LuggageWorks bag. A lot also carry the $99 expandable 22 inch from Costco (Kirkland brand) for a lightweight option. I used one of those for about 7 years, and recently bought a 26 inch PNT/LW bag.
All our aircraft have the Telex Airman750 headset on board (and several extra) so you don't need to buy one. I just bought the Sennheiser HMEC26BVK to save what's left of my hearing..."
Good luck

I have 2 tech ?'s if someone is willing to help me out please:
1. Getting off Nat Tracks, I have two FAA pubs one saying the initial turn is 90* L or R to exit to a 15 nm offset track, & the other pub says the init turn is 45* L or R for the 15nm offset. Which one is correct; I'm thinking it changed in 2010 to 45*?
B. Lateral distance between Tacks? Can't find that one anywhere in any official pub. I'm thinking 30 nm since the 15 nm from above ? is half that distance and that seems "halfway" familiar.
Any help Greatly Appreciated!!!

From the MNPS Users manual (Documents)
17.3.1 In the North Atlantic MNPS Airspace the lateral separation standard is 60 NM.
13.3.1 The general concept of these Oceanic in-flight contingency procedures is, whenever operationally feasible, to offset from the assigned route by 15 NM and climb or descend to a level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft if below FL410 or by 1000 ft if above FL410.
Initial Action
13.3.2 The aircraft should leave its assigned route or track by initially turning at least 45° to the right or left whenever this is feasible.
Deviations due to weather are covered in 13.4
The change from 30 to 15NM is to prep for the 30 Nm separation that will eventually be required. You can also look at the NAT message to see the 60 current separation.
Hope this helps. Download the MNPS users manual and it will help
