Pocket carbon monoxide detector for pilots introduced

By General Aviation News Staff · October 23, 2025 · Leave a Comment

RADIANT Technology has introduced a new addition to its carbon monoxide detector family: The CO-Pocket.

Designed for aviation use, the CO-Pocket is a rechargeable carbon monoxide detector that fits in a pocket, hangs from a lanyard, or mounts on any surface in the cockpit, according to company officials.

The CO-Pocket uses an electrochemical CO sensor tuned to alert at the FAA-recommended 41 PPM threshold. When that level is reached, the unit issues an audible alarm along with a buzzer and a red strobe flash “that cuts through cockpit noise and sunlight,” company officials said.

“Pilots asked for a CO detector they could carry anywhere,” said James Wiebe, President and CEO of Radiant. “We listened. The CO-Pocket keeps the same trusted alert logic and visual flash that made the CO-USB line successful, now with a buzzer and aural alarm, all in a compact, rechargeable package that goes wherever the pilot goes. We also added a temperature and humidity gauge.”

The digital display shows carbon-monoxide level, battery state, temperature, and humidity. As it is a portable device, no certification is required, “making it ideal for experimental, LSA, and certified aircraft alike,” Weibe added.

Powered by an internal lithium battery, the CO-Pocket operates for up to six months on a single USB charge. A standard USB-A to USB-C charging cable is included.

The CO-Pocket is available for pre-order at an introductory price of $59.95 through Cyber Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, with deliveries planned before Christmas. The regular retail price is $79.95.
