Very interesting video Stef and a good collection of comments which made me smile. You are building a strong KZread Channel community. Well done you!

One of your best videos yet Stefan. Loved the new camera position and please give s more shots of your instruments as I love to understand what you are doing

Stefan I really liked your part on the ILS vectoring explanation reckon one of the simplest explanation I've seen for new pilots learning IFR it was brilliant. Maybe more on this topic in future and I know your not an instructor but well presented demonstrations will certainly be appreciated by newbies.

The play on words

I was an instructor at the Royal Victorian Aero Club in Moorabbin '89-'92. Watching your vids brings it all back. :) ... Although the only interaction I had with Oxy equipment was by reading AVWEB articles - they spoke about using pulse oxymeters (new gear back then) to monitor the system's performance. They also spoke about buying cheap oxy from oxy-acetelene suppliers (as it was all the same gas, cheaper than medical oxy and much cheaper than aviation oxy). Where do you get your oxy supply from? Have you ever done a high alt chamber ride?

"I'm not way up high thinking, 'Why am I feeling sleepy?'" -- Actually, if you get hypoxic, you'll feel quite fine and not even realize that your functional capacity is greatly diminished. That's what makes hypoxia so dangerous.

That's for some people, others like me, feel sick, like motion sickness. I've been in the altitude chamber up to 40,000 feet (that was painful), and have flown a small plane up to 15,000 feet... anything above 10,000 feet I feel like throwing up. I've been a Flight Engineer on C-141s, and had the pressurization fail to engage. Before 10,000 feet I was telling the rest of the crew to get on oxygen. Finally at 14,000 feet, I was able to get it to work. We were leaving Egypt and didn't want to go back. In the altitude chamber, I did see a few guys feel euphoric, like you mentioned, but I felt sick to my stomach.

Actually you will get grey out or tunnel vision the effect is like looking through a kaleidoscope and you won’t be able to focus on anything. Remember how to operate your auto pilot by feel if you can to initiate a descent. Make sure your hoses aren’t kinked or can kink easily. I used to fly 5 hour legs on oxygen trying to eat or drink is very difficult. Didn’t have your fancy monitors either. Have your porridge and pot of tea before you go.

No Milkshake No Like !! (joke) Hey Stef if you need to use oxygen at 10 or above what happens to any passengers on board ? If you were flying me to the Bool for the races next year and we needed to head above 10 thousand do I just go to sleep until you descend ?

Hi Stefan. Cool video !!! At around 13.15 did you say that there is a recommendation for having oxygen at 5000 ft or above at night time ?!? Or did I miss something ? Here in Europe (Denmark) we talk about the "10.000 ft limit", where you occasionally can climb to 13.000 ft for max 30 minutes at a time without Oxygen, if you return to 10.000 or below after that.

Did co-pilot milkshake call in fatigued? lol.... As for your HR when flying an approach in minima, I will guess 94 BPM

Stefan, I don't know the ceiling for your aircraft, but I would guess the extra altitutde will give you a smoother flight and more access to favorable weather and winds. Is that right? Cheers, Rik Spector

Hi Stefan, you fly a technologically advanced aircraft like Niko and Stevo do also so why do you still use Avplan or Foreflight? Cant you use the aircraft systems instead?

@StefanDrury

4 жыл бұрын

Good question - I use AvPlan for the flight planning and submitting the plan to ATC prior to the flight. I can’t do that through the aircraft avionics. Then in flight I use it as an electronic version of my map and approach plate data. Yes I can load that on the MFD screen (like you see Steveo/Niko do), but my personal preference is to view that data separately on an iPad. That’s mainly because my Cirrus uses an older (Avidyne) system and I find navigating charts and maps a lot slower than the newer Cirrus Perspective system. So AvPlan on the iPad is the best tool for the job in my case.

Using Supplemental oxygen, how high can you fly and for how long?

@StefanDrury

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Cary, the one thing that helped improve my landings was getting really precise with my speeds. A good landing starts with a good approach, so I try and get my base and final speeds bang on and set up a stabilised approach from at least 500' AGL. Once that's done, I try and roundout with a smooth power reduction (not a fast pull on the throttle) and then try NOT to land. Basically, nail the speeds and don't let the plane touch the runway are two big things in my head when landing.
