Title:
ABS - Use of Supplemental Oxygen in the Cockpit
Topic:
Physiological Aspects Of Hypoxia, How To Detect It In Flight, And How Oxygen Use Can Enhance Safety And Increase Awareness.
Date and Time:
Tuesday, November 14, 2023, starting at 19:00 Central Standard Time (17:00 PST; 18:00 MST; 20:00 EST; 15:00 HST; 16:00 AKST; 18:00 Arizona; Wednesday, November 15, 2023 01:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Scott E. Ashton, Thomas P. Turner
Brief Description:

The use of supplemental oxygen in the cockpit is generally not discussed in flight training except for the memorization of FAR Part 91.211. Oxygen usage is generally associated with high performance, turbocharged aircraft flying in the mid-teens to flight levels. Because of this, for most general aviation pilots the use of oxygen can be mysterious. But stories of hypoxia, loss of consciousness, and how insidious the effects of oxygen deprivation can be, either from accident reports or experiencing the effects of hypoxia in a controlled environment like the FAA PROTE (Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure), are plentiful.

This seminar will review the use of supplemental oxygen, some of the physiological aspects of hypoxia, how to detect it in flight, and why supplemental oxygen use can enhance safety by increasing awareness, reducing fatigue, and eliminating that “wiped out” feeling you might get after a flight.
