Flight Suit: Nomex® Aviation Protective Clothing for Aircrew

Aviation personnel work in an environment where protective clothing needs to combine safety, mobility, durability, and functionality. A professional Flight Suit is designed to meet these requirements while providing aircrew with practical protection during aviation operations.

C&G Group provides aviation protective clothing including CWU-27/P and MK15 Flight Suits, manufactured using inherently flame-resistant Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA fabric.

What Is a Flight Suit?

A Flight Suit is a specialized protective garment developed for pilots, aircrew, and aviation personnel.

Unlike a conventional uniform, a professional Flight Suit is designed around the practical requirements of aviation operations. It combines protective material technology with functional features such as secure pockets, adjustable openings, reinforced areas, and ergonomic construction.

C&G Group's Flight Suit products are designed for air force and aviation applications, with protection against flash fire hazards and anti-static properties.

Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA Fabric

C&G Flight Suit models use DuPont® Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA fabric.

The catalog lists fabric weights of:

• 150 g/m²

• 200 g/m²

As an inherently flame-resistant material, Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA is used for protective applications where flame resistance and practical wearability are important.

The choice of fabric weight allows different configurations to be considered according to the requirements of the application.

CWU-27/P Flight Suit

The CWU-27/P Flight Suit is one of the aviation protective clothing solutions offered by C&G Group.

The catalog lists models using both 150 g/m² and 200 g/m² Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA fabric.

Its functional construction includes:

• Two chest pockets with secure zipper closure

• Lower-leg bellows pockets

• Left-sleeve pen pocket

• Adjustable sleeve cuffs

• Heavy-duty two-way front zipper

• Zip-secured leg openings

• Side pockets at the hips

These features provide practical storage and support mobility during aviation operations.

MK15 Flight Suit

C&G Group also offers the MK15 Flight Suit, which incorporates additional functional and reinforced design features.

The listed configuration includes:

• Two-way full-front FR metal zipper

• Secure chest pockets

• Left-sleeve pen pocket

• Upper-leg pockets

• Adjustable cuffs

• Adjustable waist belt

• Adjustable leg openings

• Shoulder rank holder

• Reinforced elbows

• Reinforced seat

• Concealed DRD strap

• Rear access for emergency requirements

The combination of these details gives the MK15 a distinctly operational design for demanding aviation environments.

Designed for Aircrew Mobility

Mobility is a critical consideration in aviation protective clothing.

Pilots and aircrew may need to move quickly around aircraft, access equipment, climb, sit for extended periods, or respond to emergency situations.

The Flight Suit therefore needs to provide a balance between protective coverage and freedom of movement.

Features such as adjustable cuffs, waist adjustment, leg openings, ergonomic construction, and strategically positioned pockets contribute to a practical aviation garment.

Functional Storage for Aviation Operations

A Flight Suit is also designed to help aircrew carry essential items without interfering with movement.

The CWU-27/P and MK15 designs incorporate multiple pockets in areas such as the chest, sleeve, hips, and legs.

Secure closures help keep stored items in position during movement, while specialized pen pockets provide convenient access to frequently used equipment.

This functional approach makes the Flight Suit more than simply protective clothing—it becomes part of the aircrew's operational equipment.

Reinforced Construction for Demanding Use

Aviation protective clothing may experience considerable mechanical stress during daily operations.

The MK15 Flight Suit includes reinforced elbows and seat areas to provide additional durability in high-use locations.

This type of reinforcement is particularly relevant where repeated movement, seating, and contact with equipment can place additional stress on the garment.

Anti-Static Properties

The C&G Flight Suit range is designed with anti-static characteristics to help minimize electrostatic accumulation.

This is an important functional consideration for aviation protective clothing, where control of electrostatic buildup can form part of the overall safety requirements.

Combined with inherently flame-resistant Nomex® IIIA / Aramid IIIA material, the Flight Suit provides a protective clothing solution developed for specialized aviation environments.
