Hi Craig
I don't fly my Europa above 3,000 feet very often but I do have a
turboed
Twin Com and we regularly fly that above 10,000 using oxygen. If you
use
the 'oxymizer cannula' it dramatically cuts down the amount of oxygen
you
use, it is also more comfortable than a mask. They are good to 18,000
after
which the FAA requires you wear a mask. The link below will take you to
a
suppliers web site where you can get details of bottle size and weight
together with capacity and times for different altitudes.

I imagine our US colleagues will be able to provide better information,
but
they don't wake up for another 6 hours, so this link should keep you
busy
this evening.
Regards
Pete

Subject: {Spam?} Europa-List: O2 needs at altitude
For those of you with completed AC or previous experience, I would like
yo
know what you use for
supplimental O2 needs at say 15,000 ft. specifcally size of bottles,
location, weight and how long they
last in flight. Some of the legs here in australia, like north america,
or
UK across europe, could be 6+ hours duration and i want to make
sure i have enough capacity. I realise this will vary depending on age,
health, fitness level etc. Secondly
has anyone used or considered the clip on O2 sensors (ear lobe/little
finger) to monitor blood O2 levels accurately.
Craig
