There are many places to buy pilot supplies. You can get them at your local airport or at a dedicated pilot supply shop. While most airports have a small pilot shop the selection can be limited and the prices can be a bit high. Here are just a couple of places you might want to consider when shopping for pilot supplies:

Airport – Most small airports will have a selection of the most commonly requested supplies. While the selection of headsets and Henkel Alodine may be limited and the prices will be a bit high, if you are in a hurry or desperate this is a good place to get what you need. In many cases it may be your only choice if you are on a trip and only touching down at small airports.

Pilot Shop – Many large towns and cities have a dedicated pilot shop. You can get great deals at these stores and the prices are usually very competitive. Dealing the staff is often a pleasure and they can steer you to the products you need. Keep your eye out for sales when you can save a ton of money on the gear that you need to make your flight safe.
