I'm glad some of my landings were not on video!

Good stuff. Someone in aviation should really go learn and test the specific pros and cons of the oxygen systems. It seems like lots of posters talk well about the concentrator systems, but the data available on them seems fuzzy (at least to me as a retired RN). The pulse systems seem to...

I searched a few minutes and can't find much data on how much this system gives the user. Maybe I saw that it gives less than 2l/min. Do you know any data on what the user breathes in?

I am not discounting them. I have discounted my willingness to do them all the time and to make my passengers (family) do that rather than avoid the scenario altogether or finding a better means of dealing.

I’m not willing to do focused breathing while flying an airplane over mountains. I could do such things to save my life, but I’m not gonna put myself in this situation where I have to do that. I did a little bit of that yesterday and I was able to bring my numbers up into the 90s, but then I...

I have a mountain high (EDS) O2 system. It senses when you are inhaling and gives a gentle puff of O2 at the start of inhalation. My sats, while a bit anxious, at 13000 feet today were 84-86%, while using the mountain high system. I could use a system that gave continuous O2. Is there any...

Thanks. Note the RN in my screen name...I'm well aware, all part of why I posted this topic and am asking about continuous O2 vs a lil bit on inhale with the mountain high system.

Well I just went above 13000, 90 mph was still getting 3-400 fpm climb. Sats to 84 on mountain high system. I wonder if it would have been better on continuous oxygen. I had on 3 layers, was glad for it as my top vents never fully close. One spit out something, ice? Carb heat required, or it...

I’m waiting for the right mount for a 27 inch iPad

I’ve never been at 17,000 feet better safe than sorry How does your heater work at 17,000?

After looking at the winds and temps aloft, I think I will add extra clothes, gloves, and a hat to my list.

Im just trying to think things thru on the ground before doing this. Reading about high altitudes misadventures online has me consider it.

For reference: https://www.airplains.com/cessna172-180hp I would like to experience my plane at higher altitudes prior to doing some West Coast flying. I've been to 9,000 before. We have bottled O2, a finger probe SpO2 monitor, and the O2 is delivered with little bursts upon inspiration...

Perfect (except we already bought tickets. will dream for next time.)

I kind of did. in the topic title. NC= North Carolina. Washington State= coast like Seattle and then down to Portland. Vans aircraft, Bushliner aircraft, and twin Oaks airpark

OK, I've just made reservations for commercial air travel, thanks for the pointers. If we never make it back to the area, are there sight seeing flights worth the money? Maybe seaplane stuff to San Juan Islands?

I am instrument rated and current, not too experienced.

We might just fly commercial for this but I have to look at flying it myself. C172 180 hp. I’d love an airport to airport route suggested. Most of what I am looking at seems to need lots of flying above 10k I’ve read about flying by roads? I want to visit Vans, Bushliner, and try to see a plane...

Yeah, I was pushing past mine!
