n. Helmet Bag Assembly (Figure 1-15). The helmet bag assembly features a removable,
adjustable shoulder strap (1) and two sewn-on hand straps (5), all of nylon webbing.
The non-locking top zipper, covered by a protective flap, allows the user to open the
bag by pulling the sides apart. A front tab with a snap hook (2) allows attachment
of the bag to the interior of the aircraft. Two outer front pockets (3) are suitable for
holding the kneeboard and flight charts. The outer left-end pocket (4) is designed to
hold a commonly-used L-shaped flashlight. The bag also has an outer right-end pen-
cil pocket (not shown). A large outside rear pocket (not shown) is suitable for hold-
ing maps, folded clothing, and other large, flat objects. Two inner side pockets (not
shown) are designed to hold spare visor lenses.
NOTE
Use the inside of the helmet bag to hold only the helmet and spare
visors when they are not in use.
