Helmet
The connector assembly on the right side of the helmet shell is covered by a
hinged dust cover. It is secured by a thin hook-and-pile patch. If you leave the cover
open, dust gets in the helmet or the cover gets torn. Either way, dust will irritate your
eyes and nose. That’s not good while flying.
So keep the cover closed and if
it gets damaged, let your ALSE
shop know.
When using the communication ear
plug (CEP), NSN 5965-01-504-0077,
never remove the cable from the back
of the helmet with a twisting motion.
That could loosen the locknut or the
back side of the connector and allow
it to turn. If that happens, the soldered
wires behind the connector assembly
can come loose or short out.
