Default Supplemental oxygen

I have a very large oxy bottle and always start oxygen at ground level. Ive noticed a reduction in fatigue and improved concentration.
5000ft might be OK, but I would rather spend a few bucks on oxy and be right at the top of my game all the time.

Default Supplemental oxygen

As someone already stated settings the MH to 5000msl uses negligible amounts of 02 even up to 10,000msl.
The cost is minimal and the benefit for some maybe huge....

Default Supplemental oxygen

I set my O2 to ground level yesterday and the density altitude was above
9,000' when I took off.Â* Still had a ho-hum flight.Â* At least it was
cool at 16,000' MSL.
