A snippet from an upcoming episode describing physiology of free flight.
In this talk, we break down the environmental factors that every pilot flying big mountains needs to understand: oxygen deficiency, cold exposure, G-forces, and sun exposure. You'll learn:
- The altitude threshold where hypoxia begins
- How to recognize your personal "hypoxic signature" before it's too late
- Why shivering increases your oxygen demand by 5x
- How cold, dehydration, and fatigue compound the risk
- Whether supplementary oxygen is worth the "faff"
