Re: [Aus-soaring] CADO versus Hypobaric hypoxia

2012-07-09 Thread Texler, Michael
But then again, there is this presentation that say there are differences between normobaric hypoxia (i.e breathing oxygen poor mixtures at sea level pressure), CADO (in a chamber at 10,000' altitude breathing an oxygen poor mixture) and hypobaric hypoxia ( HH i.e full chamber to 25,000'). It depe

[Aus-soaring] CADO versus Hypobaric hypoxia

2012-07-09 Thread Texler, Michael
One paper (see below) concludes that Combined Altitude Depleted Oxygen (CADO) is just as effective a tool for hypoxia awareness training as hypobaric hypoxia. It could be said that an explosive decompression is not a usual scenario for glider pilots at altitude (unless you are in a pressurised cock

FYI there is a chamber in NZ run by the RNZAF. They welcome glider pilots to use it (helps pay for upkeep!). I went on a hypoxia course organised for Gliding NZ last year, well worth it. Perhaps a bunch of GFA members could get together and pop on over the ditch. Let me know if you need contact
