Well, everyone says I'm going to regret it, but I'm going to put my KR up for sale at the Gathering this year. We have our first baby on the way and my wife just won't fly with me any more, so I'm going to upgrade to something a bit bigger. I'm planning on arriving Friday and if you want, you c

As a former flight attendant for 15 years, our annual emergency revalidation instructors drilled into us to recognise the onset of mild, moderate and sever hypoxia.

Hi guys and girls; I took N4DD for a spin today and it did wonderfully. No drifting either way on the runway, just straight and true and it rolls along so much easier now also. I think all of the squawks are fixed now but then I always say that just before I find something else to fix. I guess th

In Army flight school after a course in altitude physiology, we went into an altitude chamber. I don't remember what altitude we were at but our assignment was to write our name over and over and to put our mask on when we felt hypoxia's. I remember thinking I should put a mask on then thought

Ed Sorry, English is my FIRST LANGUAGE. I meant to say that I was not SURE that that was the case. To much speed where speed is not needed. I'll type a little slower from now on. Greg On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 7:41 PM, Ed Janssen wrote: > Greg, > > Yes, I did mean to say that KRs are certified

The military requirements for oxygen are more strict than the FAA's requirements.  Military pilots are younger and in better physical shape that the average civilian pilot.  If they need oxygen, it's a good idea for us as well.      Each individual is affected differently by the lack of su
