FLYING HELMET |
|
The FH-1V
helmet utilizes the new and acoustically improved PELTOR H520F hearing
defender (Optime II) |
|
BSI tested and EN 966:1966 See details below |
|
|
||
|
Our customers tell us that perceived noise reduction of the FLYCOM helmet and the Peltor defender is greatly improved compared to defenders of similar type used in open air headsets with cut-away type helmets of other manufacture. |

The non-removable
headset is built into the helmet and is purpose designed and built by FLYCOM
using a PELTOR hearing defender with foam and gel ear seals. Please
note, this headset does not exist as a stand alone item and is not
produced by PELTOR.
No headband inside the
helmet. All you feel is the superbly comfortable helmet on your head and the snug
fitting defenders with their noise absorbing upholstery round your ears and neck keeping
draughts out.
For complete draught-proofing between
the flying suit and the helmet the FLYCOM neck roll NR-1 is
recommended shown above. This a double thickness of heavy polar fleece
rolled at the top.
Hard wearing trim for superb
finish.
Vasco 75H (developed for NASA) inner helmet
shell for comfort, protection, thermal insulation and perfect fit.
Foam-backed
nylon jersey upholstery comfort lining.
GRP helmet outer
shell.
4-point riveted chinstrap bridle
with easy-adjust strap and quick close/release fastener. |
||||||||||||||
| Our
customers tell us the
helmet is warm, draught-free and quiet even when the head is turned
sideways, eliminating major draughts and slipstream noise over the mike. Small ventilation gaps top and bottom allow air change to prevent misting or overheating. |
The
neoprene and black polythene chin guard on the FH-1 visor is now
completely flexible and will not crack. Clear visor (shown) transmits 100%
visible light and cuts 97% UV. Available tinted; 50% or 20% visible transmission (sun glasses quality). 100% UV blockage both tints. |

Note: helmets can be sized down with supplied extra layers of foam fitted under the
'comfort lining' |

| Design
philosophy: No matter how efficient a mike or a defender/helmet
combination is, inevitably some small amount of the ambient background
noise will reach the wearer's ears through both the mike and the
defenders/helmet. The design of this helmet is such that, used in
conjunction with any FLYCOM intercom, the speaker signal and the ambient
background noise tend to cancel each other. Because of
this the volume control acts also as a "noise balance" despite being entirely passive.
(like ANC but without the added anti-phase signal) A very noticeable increase in signal-to-noise ratio occurs when the volume is turned down to about 1/2 volume or less. |

|
The helmet carries labeling to show these required standards have been passed. |
|||||||||||||||
|
EN 966:1996 Helmets for airborne sports (UL) makes reference that
provision should be made for the addition of a communication system of some
kind. NOTE The standard makes no reference whatever to decibels, noise levels or hearing protection. Excessive noise is by far the biggest hazard associated with powered flight. |
|||||||||||||||
ATTENTION The FH-1V helmet far exceeds all the test requirements in the standard EN 966:1966 and those relevant tests in standard EN 166:2001. The user should be aware that in real life it is possible to encounter extreme impact and penetration conditions exceeding the test parameters. Users should be aware that because of its nature, flying is hazardous with or without a helmet and can result in serious injury or death. Noise can damage your health. Read User Information. |
