What O2 saturation do you see at altitude…Danny Landry PIREP
A PCT ThruHiker died of HACE/HAPE last year on Forrester Pass in 2022. The pass is 13k & is the first at high altitude. This begins the series of what we call a 'pass-a-day' as 4 - 12k peaks & multiple 11Ks follow & we plan hiking each one in a day. We begin at the base & hike over the pass & set up for the next day with overnights between 8-9k. I did them in 2019 & encountered a few who had to descend to recover. Once you pass Forrester, there's only one easy exit off the trail to lower elevation.

I don't have a video to post, but other than me forgetting turn on the mags the first time I started cranking, it went great. Lit right off, Chugged the undrainable dregs of preservative oil and then smoothed right out. The idle was set right, oil pressure was good, mag check and prop cycle...

What O2 saturation do you see at altitude
Disclaimer: Not looking for medical advice and yes I know everyone will be different based on age and body health. I'm wondering what oxygen saturation level you're seeing or expecting when you're flying up high, WITHOUT supplemental oxygen. I recently bought a pulse oximeter from Amazon and...

Another "odd man out" cylinder scenario
Another "odd man out" cylinder scenario
On my IO-360 with SDS, I have my #3 cylinder behaving a bit "out of family" with the other 3. This is not a new occurrence, it's been this way for over a thousand hours now, and it's not changing - quite stable - but I've run out of easy answers on what the story is. The engineer in me says...
