OX Mask?
Do you have a mask with a mic or do you just pull it away from your mouth to respond to ATC?

At the end of my flyoff of Phase I, the way home from my first cross country trip I did the same. About the same numbers but I did not record them. 23000 feet was climbing at 150-200fpm. Cooling was the limiting factor in the climb.
IFR flight plan, O2 mask, and O2 pulse sensor. Only time I have been above 15k since. normal cruise is 11,500-12,499 to stay below O2 need. Pulled my mask to talk to ATC Fun experience though. Nice Chris |

As the article shows, the risk is greatest over 25k. However, I woudn't go scuba diving and then fly at 20k......
