One more time. Here are the previous threads with information on how to deal with all LED position lights.

THIS ^^^^ YOUR symptoms and TOC is not the same as mine or other people here online. Again, when I was about 27 years old in USAF UPT, I went probably close to 10 minutes, functioning (sign name, do simple math problems, etc), until they finally gave up on me. Others in my class were gone in a minute or two. And the problem is, explosive decompression, you KNOW you have a problem. System issues, you don't realize you have a problem until it is too late and you are not functional.

In my case, I have the rear tips lights that will stay halogen for now. So gear lights should be fine. There is a circuit in a thread here on MS that takes care of it if you want to replace the tips lights with LED

@OSUAV8TER James sells Whelen lights and hangs out here. My M20K is getting the combined LED strobe and nav light. Orion 650E. And getting the Orion 500 for the tail, so it will be strobe and nav also.

FARs are do not necessarily denote what is safe or not safe for each person or each system. Many experts feel that the FAR requirements for the use of oxygen have no basis in physiology. If the FAA wanted to, it could have worded the regulation to say any supplemental oxygen system, not limiting it to installed systems

Does that apply to portable systems, as it says "if installed?"

Anyone with experience with owning a CAP-10? Would like to discuss, possibly phone call. Thanks

Except I, and it seems many people here, read it the way he does. You seem to be the only one to read it differently. If the floor is tilted, the scale will be tilted, unless an effort is made to level them

That is an average. Some people are better and some worse. I was good for over 5 minutes at 25,000 feet when I was younger. I am not sure how long I could have gone, because they gave up and had me put my mask back on Also, rapid decompression is NOT the same. When you rapid decompress, the air in your lungs expands and rushes out, taking what oxygen it had with it. For ANYONE flying oxygen, I HIGHLY recommend a chamber ride to learn your personal hypoxia symptoms, as everyone is different.

A good idea would be to do a chamber ride if possible. Best is one of the chambers that actually reduce the air pressure. The portable one where they adjust the O2 level would be a close second. When I did my chamber ride in the USAF, I was the guy that was functional at 25000 feet until they gave up. I traveled to La Paz, Boliva (airport is 13,000 feet) and had no issues. But lately, not so much. So I go on O2 around 8,000 feet. I would have no qualms about flying over FL180, but can't due to Basic Med. But would seriously consider carrying a couple of those Boost containers.

True, but that is still on the shop. And has been pointed out, keep things factual. Painted over screws not being removed is factual. Finding the wrong injectors in the engine is a fact, but you really don't know who and when that happened. And there are explanations why they might have been missed on an annual. Doing a "shitty" job is not factual. Doing an inspection as if it were an annual without the clean and lube portion and missing major corrosion is factual.

It depends on the engine and the installation. Piper Cherokees seem to not have issues. Continental powered Cessna 182s are very prone to it. Cessna 172 seem to be in the middle.

I velcroed mine to the glare shield. I want it in plain view to see the green LED blink. I bought some stick on clips to control the tubing and the power cord. It doesn't hide them, but it will keep them under control I wonder if, when I do the panel, they can put a pocket in the panel to hold it. Not install it, but just hold it with the face flush the tubes routed to behind the panel.

Uuuh, yes. Luckily the two shops I have used do good work and stand behind their work. The first step is ALWAYS to contact the shop and calmly explain what you perceive the issue to be. And try to work it out. But, the community needs to help each other out and let everyone know if there are issues and a failure to resolve them. But the community also cannot jump on the person reporting with reports of "that can't be" "no way" "you are wrong." IMO, it is OK to point out that you had good experiences with the same shop. Even if one person has a bad experience, that doesn't mean the shop is horrible. But if there a number of reports, that points to issue. "

At $110 million per airplane (F-35) they should pure platinum toggles.

OK, but still not 3rd party tested.

I wonder if the F-35 has rockers? My A-10s all had toggles.

FYI CE rating is a self certification by the manufacturer that the product meets the standards. UL, TUV, CSA are 3rd party standards, where the manufacturer has to send in several samples to be tested by a group not associated with the manufacture. I picked up a Jupiter Discovery X5 electric bike. There is a long thread on them over on BT. So far, I have just ridden it around my neighborhood and not tried putting it in and out of my plane. Lighter is better, how light can you afford????

Soviet jet fighters do the same thing. US jets are fully flush riveted because it looks cooler.

Another option is a O2 concentrator. If I did not have a built in system, I would serious consider that route.

I am helicopter rated and a former A-10 guy (back in the days when 500 AGL was high), but love my 252. But I will go up into the teens for a 200 mile trip for good winds. More than 200, I normally go high. The turbo will still be there and subject to maintenance. And it will cause a weight penalty. Remember the adages. Buy your last plane first. And Buy once, Cry once.

Yes. He figured since I left it open.... But the house is a raised range and the garage door is in the back below the level of the yard in front. So NOT visible under you walked around the back. And behind the house is woods for about 100 yards, then a farm.

Or new, labeled switch rockers are available. Contact @AH-1 Cobra Pilot He had been making Klixon ones. But with the work of a friend of mine, the Mooney community now has ETA one also available.

I joke that I live far enough in the country that we went on a 3 day weekend get away, and left the garage door open. And when we got back there were MORE tools that when we left. A neighbor returned an angle grinder he had borrowed.

FYI, I measured the ground to wingtip and it is 42 inches or 3.5 feet. So if you scrape the wingtip with the main wheel on the ground you are at 14.5 degrees. But the other wingtip will have risen about 6 more feet off the ground.
