For those of you with completed AC or previous experience, I would like yo
know what you use for
supplimental O2 needs at say 15,000 ft. specifcally size of bottles,
location, weight and how long they
last in flight.
Hey Craig,
With the exception of the occasional wave day, we don't have much use for O2
here in the SE USA but a lot of our glider customers who fly in the
mountains out west like the Mountain High O2 systems. This is probably the most
common O2 system we see in gliders that come through our shop. The MH system
uses
a pulsed, on-demand regulator and that, I'm told, saves a lot of O2. Fairly
important when you are flying out on the middle of nowhere when refills are
scarce. These folks also sell the finger type pulse oximeters that monitor
your O2 saturation.

Hope it helps!
