Graduate Research
Hello everyone,
My name is Chris, I am completing my gradate degree in aviation safety, and as part of my degree I must complete a graduate research project. My project focuses on whether the current federal regulations regarding the use of supplemental oxygen by flight crewmembers above 25,000 feet in pressurized aircraft are valid in today’s environment and whether or not completion of altitude chamber training increases the likelihood of pilots to use supplemental oxygen.
I am getting close to having the data that I need, but I would really like to get more response from those operating under part 135.
If any of you have the time to take a short survey regarding oxygen use, I would greatly appreciate it. The survey should take approx. 5 minutes to complete.

Check out this invention which is replacing the Altitude Chamber in USN/USMC Aviation Physiology Training - it called the Reduced Oxgyen Breathing Device (ROBD)
Environics - Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device 2 (ROBD 2) - Product Data
This should give you some material for your project regarding training and uses and I can tell you from experience that the ROBD is better training and that aircrew are recognizing hypoxia related events more accurately than before this training was available.

Hi Chris!
Welcome to the forums. What exactly is a gradate degree? Never heard of one, but sure glad you're getting one!

Robd
USMC:
I got an opportunity to use that device during my recurrent altitude chamber training. The device is fantastic. It provided me a much more realistic picture of what the insidious effects of hypoxia will do to me during a flight profile. While the chamber is very useful for identifying what symptoms of hypoxia feel like, the ROBD combines the symptomatic effects with your reaction while piloting an aircraft simulator.
Plus the guys up in P-cola are VERY smart with regard to hypoxia, fatigue, etc. And the golf course isn't bad either.

I'm glad you were able to put P-cola's training equipment to full use - meaning the golf courses of course
