- The helmet, liners, and earcup assemblies have been fitted properly.
- The chinstrap and nape strap are adjusted properly and the retention assembly is attached to the helmet with the screws tightened securely.
- The visors operate properly and are clean and free of scratches and cracks.
- All communication components have been installed properly and the earphones and microphone operate properly.
- The overall condition of the helmet has been checked for serviceability.
Postflight Inspections: After each flight, the user should note any component malfunction or damage to the helmet resulting from operational use.
Annual Inspection: Crewmembers are responsible for ensuring that their helmet assembly has been inspected, cleaned or replaced as necessary. Periodic or scheduled inspections should occur at least every 365 days.
Refurbishment Inspection: Crewmembers are responsible for ensuring that their helmet assembly has been inspected, cleaned or replaced as necessary. Periodic or scheduled inspections should occur at least every 3 year period.
