Part of the job of the pilot in command is the recognition and reduction of risk in the cockpit. Lightspeed Aviation, makers of some of the most popular headsets on the market, are helping pilots recognize and reduce risks with the introduction of the Delta Zulu headset. This active noise reduction (ANR) Bluetooth-enabled headset gives the pilot the ability to customize its auditory acuity with the help of an app, and it also has a built-in carbon monoxide detector that provides an auditory warning if there is CO present in the cockpit.

The company—based in Oswego, Oregon—describes the Delta Zulu headset as a “safety wearable.”
