CO Detector - Year-round?

[Wm.Ince]

I should mention an error in my presentation, pointed out to me by several attendees (including two physicians). I stated that, when one is exposed to CO, blood oxygen saturation reads low on a pulse oximeter. Actually, that is exactly backwards. The infrared detector in a pulse ox responds to CO as well as O2, so measured sats will be artificially inflated. I regret the error.

Good job, Paul . . . thank you.

Thanks to those of you who tuned in live. You will have noticed my shameless plug for http://SportPilotTalk.com.

Safe Skies,

No, but if folks care to submit suggestions, I'll certainly consider creating one.
