Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) issued an approved headset list for aircrew members on C-17 aircraft throughout AMC. This memorandum was established on 20 September 2022 and is in effect unit it is amended and reissued.
There are three (3)approved headsets, and two (2) are David Clark. The other is Bose (P/N A20), but they have been discontinued from the manufacturer. Even though the Bose headsets have been replaced by a newer model (P/N A30), they have not been identified and approved for use by C-17 aircrew.

Per the aforementioned approved headset list memorandum, no other headsets shall be used in the future unless the memorandum is amended and reissued.
