Hubby and I were talking about the effects of hypoxia while flying. We have heard of instances where the pilot was suffering from hypoxia and did not realize it, but apparently the ATC controller he was talking to did.
Are ATC controllers trained to recognize when a pilot is hypoxic? Are they trained in how to handle that situation?
If so, how (basicallY) do they recognize/handle it?
What about when the pilot recognizes the problem and asks for help?
