Description

The LMT Pilot helmet is designed for flight crew members of civilian or military helicopters. They operate mainly on board and require head protection during certain flight phases. The particular shape and construction materials have made it possible to minimize the weight and size of the helmet without giving up on the security features required for flight helmets. The reduced size and weight allow extended wear, avoiding altering pilots’ sense of balance. 

 

LMT:

• Lighter – Reduced weight for improved comfort and reduced fatigue during extended missions.

• Modular – Configurable to accept various accessories (e.g., communications, optics, visors).

• Tactical – Built for operational use with military or special mission focus.

 

Key Features:

• Side Protection: The shell design gives maximum side protection, covering the jaw area with impact protective material. 
• Airflow:  The passive ventilation system avoids visor fogging caused by temperature changes and gives a refreshing effect when flying in warm conditions 
• BOA System:  BOA makes it easy to dial in the perfect fit, bringing you closer to your equipment for improved comfort and usability. 
• Balanced:  The helmet is designed to keep perfect balance, even with the application of the modern NGV system
• Integrated Comms:   The Pilot helmet has an integrated communication system that can be upgraded with many accessories.
• Collapsible Knob:  The visor knob is designed to be collapsible in case of impact, to avoid any anchor point that could swivel your neck.

The technical standards 

LMT Pilot helmet expressly falls under paragraphs 1 and 4 of Annex I of the European Directive 89/686, integrated with the changes made by Directive. 93/95 and Dir. 93/68, and are not required for helmets dedicated to rotorcraft crews, nor compliance with technical standards. However, Northwall has chosen to pursue compliance with European Directives for PPE and compliance with the EU Directive.

The European airborne helmet technical standards are, in unrestrictive terms, EN 966:2006 “Helmets for airborne sports”, which the LMT-Pilot helmets are compliant with. The LMT helmets were then subjected, depending on their additional intended use, although not required, to comply with technical standard tests concerning specific application areas, such as:

• EN 397:2000 for helmet use in working areas where head protection is required, such as construction sites or areas that can be exposed to falling objects; typical helmet use for the crew of a medical helicopter rescue service.

• EN 12492:2000 for helmet use in mountain environments, allowing operators onboard a helicopter to be able to access areas at risk of falling from heights with the same helmet used in helicopters.

• EN 14052:2005 high-performance safety helmet • EN 443:2008 (cl.4.3) Penetration resistance required for firefighter helmets

• ANSI Z90.1 U.S. Motor Sport Helmets. Given the impossibility of having the helmets simultaneously conform to all the categories provided by worldwide standards, also considering certain opposing characteristics, compliance refers to the tests reported for the specific use of each LMT helmet series model arising from the analysis of the specific risks to which the user is mainly exposed.

• Shock Absorption Tests: EN966:2006 – ANSI Z90.1
• Penetration Resistant Tests: EN966:2012, EN443:2008, EN12492:2012
• Validation of Screens Qualities: meet&exceed EN166:2004, MIL-DTL-87174/A
• Acustic Isulation: 23dB @ 1000 Hz Pulling Off Resistance: EN966:2006
• Retention System Resistance: EN966:2012
