The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) has released a new episode of its Real Pilot Story video series.
In the latest video, Real Pilot Story: Hidden Hazard, pilot Dan Bass reflects on a haunting flight in his Mooney when he was overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning and lost consciousness while airborne, AOPA officials noted.
“Carbon monoxide — a gas that has no odor or color — is deadly dangerous. Thankfully, Dan is able to share his account of the collective circumstances that led to the mishap, his miraculous survival, and the importance of installing a CO detector to prevent such accidents,” said AOPA Air Safety Institute Senior Director Paul Deres.
ASI’s Real Pilot Story series allows pilots to share their encounter with a dilemma so others can benefit — while on the ground — from lessons learned the hard way in flight, AOPA officials noted.
An absolute miracle that he survived , I have to say the Lord was with him on that flight.
