Safety Meeting Topic: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Small Aircraft
Join us for an essential safety briefing on carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, a silent but deadly hazard for general aviation pilots, especially during colder months or high-altitude operations. We’ll discuss how CO can accumulate in the cockpit, common sources such as faulty exhaust systems, and the subtle symptoms that can impair pilot performance mid-flight.
This session will cover:
- How to detect CO early with portable monitors
- Preflight and in-flight prevention strategies
- Emergency response protocols
Who Should Attend: All members flying piston-engine aircraft, particularly in high-altitude or winter conditions.
