Helmet Ideas?

[Steve76]

If anyone is interested,

I have good used SPH5's and brand new Alpha Eagle 900's for sale. The SHP5's are in great condition as they are only used by non-pilot staff in our op and most are only two years old. I have sold a bunch around the world and had no complaints at all. They are a good helmet for the price.

 

Additionally, I am driving a E900 now and love the helmet. Personally, it is comparable or better than the CGF. Two friends with the CGF have had nothing but hassles with it since they got them. At the cost they are not worth the trouble.

Thats a bias opinion but the evidence is available too...

Hehe...just noticed that the gang at Flight Suits can custom paint your helmet. They have a bunch of designs you can look at, or design your own. Gotta say I love that "Maverick" paint scheme...how cool would that be! Wasn't sure if other pilots would take someone seriously if they had a paint scheme like that, or if they'd love it and wish they'd thought of it first. Still, it's pretty funky I think.

when i arrived at helijet i had a number of helmet wearing years in the bush behind me..............

 

when i asked if i could continue wearing it at helijet i was told: "yes you can wear it, we don't forbid it" "BUT, you will be the ONLY one wearing one"

 

so the choice was mine and yes, i stopped wearing my helmet. one has to look at your working enviroment: in the bush, longlining bags in difficult terrain or in a complex, multi-engine, IFR aircraft flying from airport to airport or helipad to helipad.

 

now the air ambulance was another matter and some of the pilots started to wear helmets there because now we were starting to land away from said airports, helipads ect.

 

choices choices choices..............

Ryan: What are the chances that"Maverick" could make a few passengers a tad nervous?

 

As for the helmut question the yes & the no people are both right & wrong, it's a no win situation.
