However, my understanding is, if you are departing from an uncontrolled airport, and flying in uncontrolled airspace, you only need a flight itinerary. Any one confirm or correct ...

Re: Bose A20 Headset Bluetooth

I love my A20's got them a month ago... quiet, comfortable, bluetooth is excellent, i use the aux port for music all the time. Cord can get in the way some times.

only complaint is i will the main cord was the curl cord, not the straight one they use.

Cheers

Generally not how it works. If your working toward your PPL, expect to be paying full rental of the plane and paying the instructor.
