Helmets

Safety certification tests for airsport helmets (EN966) are one of the lowest in the helmet industry. Therefore, many pilots use downhill mountain bike (ASTM F1952) or ebike helmets (NTA 8776), since they have very stringent safety ratings.

Used Gliders

Radio Transceivers

Some airparks require pilots carry a 2-way handheld radio. United States Code, Title 47, Chapter I, Subchapter D, Part 97, Subpart E, permits unlicensed transmissions for the safety of human life.
