Great Lakes Region:
Cirrus in trouble after switching off autopilot. Hmm?

Eastern Region:
Gear up catch by tower.

New England Region - Boston:
Pilot (Dad) possible stroke, possible CO poisoning. Daughter lands plane.

Souwthwest Region:
Lifeguard Flight. 24 hour old baby - crashing. Radio coordination
w/hospital.

Western Pacific Region:
Traffic call to avoid collision.


Montblack

New England Region - Boston:
Pilot (Dad) possible stroke, possible CO poisoning. Daughter lands plane.

That one is spooky First the dad, then the mom become unresponsive?

If it was CO poisoning, how come the daughter wasn't affected?

Age, along with fitness, are two of a number of factors in CO2
poisoining. Older you get, the less tolerance you have, all other
things being equal. It has to do with the body's ability to handle low
O2 conditions.

-Malcolm Teas

Don't believe you have much of a case for CO 2 poisoning. It is CO that is
the poison!!!

Oh I don't know... How about in the bottom of a hole? One of the
things we check for is CO2 along with N2, neither of which are
considered poisonous and both can kill. I doubt either could be
considered a problem in an airplane with all the leaks. :-))

Read somewhere that there are no toxic substances, only toxic
quantities.

I thought I recall that the problem in this case was not CO poisoning. The
father was stricken by a stroke and the mother was overcome by emotion and
lost consciousness.

I recall reading... that is.

Because kids usually have a higher Vo2Max than adults.
They have the ability to carry more O2 (more efficiently)
in their system and suffer degradation last If you need a minimum
pulse/ox number to remain concious and you have a more efficient
cardio/vascular system you stay concious the longest. That
might also explain why the youngest most fit miner was the only
survivor in the last mine cave in......
