    Title: ABS - Use of Supplemental Oxygen in the Cockpit

    Topic: Physiological Aspects Of Hypoxia, How To Detect It In Flight, And How Oxygen Use Can Enhance Safety And Increase Awareness.

    Date and Time: Tuesday, November 14, 2023, starting at 19:00 Central Standard Time (17:00 PST; 18:00 MST; 20:00 EST; 15:00 HST; 16:00 AKST; 18:00 Arizona; Wednesday, November 15, 2023 01:00 GMT)

    Speaker(s): Scott E. Ashton, Thomas P. Turner

    Brief Description: The use of supplemental oxygen in the cockpit is generally not discussed in flight training except for the memorization of FAR Part 91.211. Oxygen usage is generally associated with high performance, turbocharged aircraft flying in the
    mid-teens to flight levels. Because of this, for most general aviation pilots the use of oxygen can be mysterious. But stories of hypoxia, loss of consciousness, and how insidious the effects of oxygen deprivation can be, either from accident reports or
    experiencing the effects of hypoxia in a controlled environment like the FAA PROTE (Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure), are plentiful.

    This seminar will review the use of supplemental oxygen, some of the physiological aspects of hypoxia, how to detect it in flight, and why supplemental oxygen use can enhance safety by increasing awareness, reducing fatigue, and eliminating that “wiped
    out” feeling you might get after a flight.

    Did anyone here attend? How was it?
    I believe you can watch replays later without getting the Wings credit.
