steveP 6 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yes passed out at 15000ft + (leg 1) in the A2A skylane, I love that aircraft, first time ever it's happened, the good news is I can now confirm Hypoxia is modeled and is working. The bad news is that happened after one hour in...oh well here i go again.... Cheers Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I kept to about 9500ft, only climbing when terrain was an issue Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,299 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 True you can fly above 12000 for a short time but that hypoxia effect will catch you every time. Enjoy the flights(including the extra one ) and look for mountain passes in the future. Thanks for joining in, have fun. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Spent some time on Lake Titicaca, Peru (alt. 3,800M, 12,500ft). Specifically a "home stay" on one of the islands. Mighty interesting as the bed was only 5ft long and I'm a tad over that. Calling it a bed is being generous in the extreme. Actually, as I recall, the doorway only came up to my chest. Ate a lot of potatoes and danced the night away with the lady that ran the home stay - she was about 4'6" and sure had better wind than I did. Most difficult to do any activities at that elevation. Better to sit quietly in a market square with a cold beer. Fortunately, an activity at which I excel. Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Link to post Share on other sites
