Ariston: we dont stow during flight, they are worn permanently.
However if stowage was needed there is plenty of room in the cargo bay (accessible in flt).
There is headroom in the EC135 - just! It varies from between 5" and 1" dependant on individual so far anyway!

Sorry, by stowed I thought you meant uncoupled from the base plate. They are "stowed" in the 'UP' position on the helmet and this is where the height clearance kicks in.

For the hard of hearing:
1" - 5" is the clearance AFTER stowage.
Nicest bit of back attempted back pedalling I have seen in a while!
However, just to clarify, when not in use, the goggles are stowed in the 'UP' position on the helmet in the cargo bay?
As they are "worn permanently", how does this work?
Not only am I hard of hearing, I must also be hard of reading!!
