Why clean a helicopter flight helmet?

Pilots and cockpit cabin crews want to be able to rely 100% on the quality, reliability and safety of their aircraft and helmets in flight. That's why cleaning a flight helmet is part of the protective measures alongside the aircraft, equipment and protective clothing.
But unfortunately, cleaning the flight helmet is often forgotten.

European Helmstore has developed a series of special cleaning procedures that allow us to clean and disinfect your flight helmet at the same time. In principle, protective helmets, especially the interior fittings, are exposed to the same pollutants as protective clothing. You will absorb these impurities through your scalp the next time you use it.

Cleaning a helicopter flight helmet includes the following points:

Cleaning and disinfecting the helmet shell
Cleaning and disinfecting the (TPL) helmet padding/lining
Cleaning and disinfecting the neck pad and chin strap with chin pad
Cleaning and disinfection depending on the helmet type, the retention system (helmet strap system)
Cleaning and disinfecting the ear seals and internal insulation of the shell
Cleaning and disinfecting communication cables
Cleaning the visors

Helmet cleaning is carried out by a helmet certified technician.
