    Altitude test to fly?

    There is actually a formula to calculate what a person's oxygen saturation will be at altitude. The clinic near me doesn't test with lower oxygen, but does the formula based on sats at ground level and figures whether a flyer will be fine or short on oxygen. If your local clinic is actually...

    Altitude test to fly?

    No, on a plane it is 21% as well. That does not change. The pressure of the atmosphere is lower than at sea level, but the relative mix of gasses does not change. At 15%, pilots would be falling out of the sky from hypoxia. Someone may be trying to simulate the decrease in pressure by lowering...

    Altitude test to fly?

    Aircraft are pressurized to the equivalent of 8000 above sea level, and this cuts down quite a bit on the partial pressure of oxygen you breath, although it is still 21% of the total. I skydive, and have done quite a few night freefalls, and we are trained that at 8000ft there is effectively...

    Oxygen question

    The problem with long hoses is that they have resistance in them, and that cuts down on the oxygen flow. Think of a really long garden hose - by the time you drag it clear across the yard, there isn't the flow out of it that you had back at the tap, is there? Resistance to flow in the hose...

    Jobs! PLZ HELP!

    Sit down and write out what you know how to do well, somewhat, not at all. Then look at that list and think about what you can do to upgrade, such as the things that are pretty good right now. What things can you do that will not tire you? You know how to get on a computer, but can you type so...
