"In future if I go above FL180 I will have a spare battery and a
battery inside my clothing (32C degrees is about optimum battery operation body temp is 36C) with wires and connectors coming out to connect to the EDS unit. I will also carry a spare or emergency oxygen system. As simply having the battery in the pocket of the glider exposes the battery to the cold temperatures so its just as useless. Think of another thing its freezing cold you take your hands out of the gloves you then have to fumble with the battery and fly the glider." Point(s) well made. So far my O2 experience has been up to FL180. Certainly going far above that brings forth other serious considerations. I have thought I would install a continuous flow system as a back-up to the EDS if, and when I decide to fly at those altitudes. Then also a spare/emergency? Do you have any special considerations for the glider primary batteries when it gets that cold? |
