Beardy, if the service expect us to consider bailing out of a Tutor and using the parachute do they not have a duty of care to at least trial this?
Only if it is considered to be a normal, regular, occurrence, it is not, it is a last resort and as they say better than nothing.
I too fly the Tutor and have no problem with wearing a flying helmet, despite not having worn one for many years. It's not inconvenient and might just do some good.
