While most general aviation pilots, such as those flying Mooneys, Cessnas, TBMs and Embraers, have as much need for a helmet as drivers of Fords and Lexuses, there are many pilots for which a helmet is a critical piece of equipment. Pilots pushing the limits flying aerobatic routines, formation aerobatics or battling it out in air races would be foolish to strap themselves into their cockpits without one.
