CO poisoning

[A64Pilot]

Anyone have a link to the post accident post where a member lost consciousness and woke up, in a field?

Also is Sensorcom still offering a discount code?

The C-120/140 crowd are discussing what’s the Mooney guys have already been through, accuracy of the spot detectors etc., and I’d like to give them a link to the accident post and possibly a discount code on the Sensorcom if allowable.

Dan Bass is a folk hero. He's done the circuit, TV, AOPA, Mooney Summit. There's videos of him talking about it on youtube as well. But, nothing like hearing it straight from him in person.

Timing is everything…

My CO alarm’s battery is dying… and it is giving off the dreaded beep…. Beep… beep… (other brand, not sensorcon, bought just prior to sensorcon becoming so widely spread in our community…)

Let’s invite @DanM20C to stop by…

See if there is a sensorcon update…

Dan has made it a mission to bring awareness, and stamp out some of the OWTs, related to CO poisoning…

Dan is also a great Mooney CFII…

Best regards,

This is how I learned about It, listening to him tell the story was a little surreal and the pictures are worth more than words. I got my co2 sensor for flight training right after. FYI if I remember right it also happen to a Comanche pilot many years ago and he also survived.

Sorry for the delayed response.  The Sensorcon discount is still in effect.  aircraft2021 still works on their website for 20% off.  Please share with the C120/140 guys!

Cheers,

Dan

Video made me think twice about CO in the cockpit.  I always get a little smoke from oil burning off the muffler shroud on startup.  (The oil leak is my bane and am always looking for ways to eliminate it).  Any way it encouraged me to spend a little and buy a CO sensor/monitor.  Found out I did have a little uptake around 15ppm right after start for a few minutes.  In flight it went right back down to 0ppm.  That peace of mind was worth every penny spent on the monitor. 

Thanks for Dan Bass for putting the video together and this forum for helping me be a safe flyer.

And the luckiest man I've ever met!

His story told at the Mooney Summit was amazing, eye opening and the reason I now own two Sensorcons. Oh, I threw away my last "black dot" card as soon as Sensorcon #1 arrived, too.

Well at least Dan's airplane is a folk hero... landed without prompting from the pilot.

So which one are you all buying? Just the plain no frills "Inspector" or another one?

I use the least-expensive Sensorcon. Happy so far. It's velcroed beneath my quadrant near the vent opening.

Mooney should really advertise this more (if they were still selling airplanes). I wonder if all Mooneys come equipped with autoland?

Sure do! Trim for hands-free climb then pull mixture to ICO if you want to test yours . .   .
