The Heli Pilot Helmet is a ballistic-resistant helmet worn by civilian and Tanoan Gendarmerie helicopter pilots in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Reaction Forces Creator DLC.
Worn by civilian pilots and Tanoanlaw enforcement personnel, the Heli Pilot Helmet has a weight of 30 "mass" units.
Just like its military counterpart, the civilian Heli Pilot Helmet is rated at Level II protection standards. The wearer can consistently survive being struck at point blank range by a single 9 mm pistol/SMG bullet, though most intermediate rifle calibre rounds (e.g. 5.56 mm) will remain lethal unless they are hit at distances beyond 100 metres.

Hidden raised visor variants.
All eight variants of Reaction Forces' Heli Pilot Helmets have alternate versions that have the visor raised up.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] However, they cannot be equipped via the Virtual Arsenal unless the user resorts to scripting commands to spawn them in or a custom addon to unhide them.
