The FAA’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) is offering a unique opportunity for pilots to take part in Hypoxia Recognition Training in a simulated reduced oxygen environment. The experience will allow participants to discover their individual reaction to the condition.
The reduced oxygen simulation will be conducted in the Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure (PROTE). The enclosure simulates the equivalent of a 25,000 ft. altitude.
Training will be offered Thursday, September 7 through Sunday, September 10.
Training sessions will be scheduled every 30 minutes, starting at 9:00 AM on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, and 10:30 AM on Saturday.
Each session will accommodate up to 5 participants.
All participants who enter the PROTE must 1) have either a current FAA Medical Certificate (minimum Class 3) or evidence of BasicMed qualification and 2) be at least 18 years of age.
