PROTE - Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure
Date and Time:

Speaker(s):
FAA Civil Aeronautical Medical Institute (CAMI) Personnel
Brief Description:

Join San Diego FAASTeam at the High Performance hangar at Gillespie Field Airport to experience the Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure (PROTE) Chamber. We are thrilled to host the FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) and their team for this unique training experience.  

Your local FAASTeam & CAMI are 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 symptoms of hypoxia. 

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.

Each PROTE Flight participant must meet the following requirements (documentation / proof required upon check-in):

  1. Must be at least 18 years old.
  2. Must have a valid U.S.. pilot certificate (Student, Private, Commercial, ATP, Sport, Recreational).
  3. Must have a current FAA Medical Certificate.  NEWEST UPDATE:  Basic Med Is now acceptable!

 

Participants MUST arrive 1 (one) hour prior to scheduled PROTE slot time.
