The regulations require ox at 12,500 after half an hour and immediately at 14,000 for the pilot. However it is recommended to use ox above 10,000. The disposable ox is not certified for the requirements, so below 12,500 it is legal to use.
Yah. “Required to use” is different than “need to use”. Everybody’s body is different so everyone needs to measure and observe their own response to decide. Don’t be stingy on o2!
Best not to engage VNAV unless you get a crossing altitude. Damn thing can get us in trouble unless we get a clear “cross XYZ at 4000” then we can dial up the altitude for the cross and employ it.
One of the downsides of all that data and a autopilot. ATC used to judge a pilot by maintaining a altitude. Now with all the programming of the computer the basics of the "six pack" can be lost. In the days of only VORs altitude was everything now ATC has much better lateral information. But over reliance on the autopilot is causing problems. Either by inattention, not understanding the limitations, or over reliance.
Kinda surprised security didn’t hassle you for recording video around Google! Maybe you were careful to stay near the public areas. BTW as you may now know, Google isn’t just a plex or building, it’s an entire neighborhood.😮
What a magnificent view! Great job, fellas!
Thank you sir.
Awesome video, thank you! It shows how keeping a nice attitude with ATC helps reducing the consequences of our mistakes - great job!
Couldn’t agree more. Thank you
It must be so nice to have all of that beautiful California IMC to practice in. We get hammered in the clouds here in Central Florida.
I know well about CF weather. Lived in Daytona Beach for a few years. Stay safe.
Nice landing. Great video
Thanks a lot!
Good thing you set your minimums.
Great landing :)
Thank you
Did you need oxygen at 12000 feet? Nice flight! Butter!
Thank you very much. We did use disposable oxygen and measured my O2 often.

Yes totally correct. Thank you.
@RetreadPhoto yes that was what caused it.

That’s true.

Well
I figured if they can drive cars and record WiFi passwords, they can’t be too mad at me.
