carusoam Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Yes they do currently... The Amsafe thread above that N803... is referring to is to their new product coming out... Old is pricey, new one should be more palatable when available... You can ask your MSC for a quote for your plane. Best regards, -a-
Piloto Posted February 5, 2018 Report Posted February 5, 2018 You are better off with a motorcycle helmet, they are cheaper and makes you look cool.

You can die by hitting the yoke in your chest too hard. You can bring your motorcycle helmet, wd40 and pee pee tube but I'm all in for the airbag seatbelts.

A helmet and an airbag would be better than an airbag alone. An airbag alone is pretty good better than a standard seatbelt alone. Very few people are flying mooney's when full face helmets on but if they did then yes I agree it would improve crash statistics. This guy seems to be carrying on just fine with no head. 1
