Inspections
Our products are made with quality and could last more than a decade if properly maintained. We recommend a certified annual inspection of all aviation helmets because personal protection equipment (PPE) is a safety item. During the inspection process, it may be recommended that the helmet receives a refurbishment. This separate service brings the helmet back to “like new” condition.
Unlike helmets designed for other purposes, helicopter and flight helmets should absorb much of the impact during an event. The energy-absorbing liner should be replaced as needed because once it has compressed, that location cannot absorb any more energy. Normal wear and placing the helmet down on its crown have detrimental effects on the liner. We replace the liner every time we inspect a helmet.
Once we receive a confirmation or PO for work, we will complete the service as stated in the estimate and return the helmet as soon as possible. If you have questions about setting up a maintenance schedule, please contact us, and we will happily assist.
During an inspection, the certified technician will:
- Visually Inspect the Underside of the Shell
- Visually Inspect for any Defective Parts
- Use Testing Equipment on all Communication Elements
- Ensure Proper Operation of all Moving Components
- Visually Inspect Visor Lens for Scratches and Optical Clarity
- Visually Inspect all Soft Goods for Non-Hygienic Circumstances
- Remove the Energy Absorbing (E.A.) Liner
- Replace with Paraclete ShockLiner
- Write and Send an Estimate of their Recommendations
