Aircraft CO Detectors from Guardian Avionics
Ensure Safety from the Invisible Threat of Carbon Monoxide
Are you and your passengers protected from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning in your General Aviation aircraft?
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that poses a serious safety risk in aviation. Its effects are not immediately visible but can have severe consequences, including incapacitation or even death.
Why Carbon Monoxide is Dangerous
- Odorless and Tasteless: CO cannot be detected without a proper detector.
- High Affinity for Hemoglobin: CO attaches to hemoglobin in red blood cells with an affinity 200 times greater than oxygen, severely impairing oxygen transport.
- Symptoms of Exposure: Early symptoms include headaches, tingling in the fingertips, drowsiness, and dizziness, progressing to unconsciousness and cardiovascular failure with higher or prolonged exposure.
- Altitude Effects: At higher altitudes, oxygen levels decrease, making the effects of CO more pronounced and increasing the risk of hypoxia for pilots and passengers.
