Its cheap and simple. The audio will be crisp, clear, and work all day long. I've used mine on almost every flight since new. Kinda of a poor mans flight data (video)/cockpit voice recorder.

That looks like a good solution.

Crisp and clear means different things to different folks. Also it depends on how hot someone runs their headphones and it also depends on what is doing the recording.
Some recorders have the ability to switch between "line in" and "mic in".
The Gopro does not, it is mic only so unless you run your headphone level pretty low, you will get distorted audio on the recording.
Not saying you won't be able to live with it, it just won't be as good as it can be. Tried direct connection myself and was not happy with the results.

Totally understand. Not sure how my audio levels compare to others, but I've been very happy with the audio quality.
For anyone interested, check out some of my youtube videos here:

All but one have in cockpit video/audio hooked up the way I described earlier, using the GoPro Hero2. See if you like the results. Good luck.

Recording Cockpit Audio
Afternoon RVer's, I use a GoPro and a custom made cable from Barnstormers Audio-
http://www.barnstormeraudio.com/products.html
Depending on the plane I'm flying at the time, I find it easier to plug cable and recorder into un-used headset jack and record that way.
Here is an example-

Hope this helps,

GoPro sound is ok if the camera is inside the cockpit
But if you want to put the camera outside, or use multi cameras, then you need to use a seperate recorder.

Lapel microphone
I purchased a tiny lavalier microphone and simply put it in the ear cup of one of the headsets in the plane. It picks up both intercom and radio transmissions. Cheap and easy and completely portable. The headphones do a good job of blocking engine noise but you can still hear it in the background. I like it.

Especially now that I have remote on/of for my Gopro, voice conversations would have bad continuity.
My 2?

Agree. A little time in editing is worth being able to mount the camera wherever you want without stringing wire to it. Plus, you can save audio any time and dub it in as filler for times when you have the camera but forgot the audio recorder.
