Hi
Has anyone experienced levels of CO in the cockpit whilst airborne.We have recently started to use a CO monitoring instrument and over the past 25 hours it has registered zero .However at the weekend the CO reading rose to 15ppm this was with both wing root vents closed and the cabin heater off.The reading returned to zero when the pilots wing root air vent was opened.The same occurred on the return trip and the reading droped to zero again on opening the air vent.
The aeroplane is a C172D,I know it has the small wheel at the wrong end but it it does the job.
Thanks
Bryce

Hi
We are using a Senco model 1.They have just become available in this country (UK) through aviation supply organisations.

I did have a quick review yesterday but obviously need to spend more time at it.

As you can tell we've discussed a lot of STUFF here at the forum and there is a lot of good information in it but it is sometimes hard to find. there have been a few attempts at making that better but even in my attempt to search a little for you that failed.
Here are 2 links that i did find.

There is probably a lot more spread throughout the forum if you search on co, carbon, monoxide, and detector

The "search" routine works better at limiting results if you are specific about defining your search and if you require that "Search for any terms or use query as entered".
Example: If I search for "Cleveland Brake conversion"...and fail to "Search for any terms or use query as entered" ....then so many results will be returned as to be useless. All the msgs containing "Cleveland" and all msgs containing "brake" and all terms containing "conversion" will be returned....which includes every engine conversion and every discussion of wheel landings which talked about using "brake" and all discussions about the weather in Cleveland Ohio will be displayed.
Another hint: If you or someone else misspells a word...the search routine can be defeated. Breaks does not equal Brakes,...but if you look around you'll see all kinds of such misspellings. (As moderator I occasionally catch them and correct them, but I probably miss as many as not.)
Hope this helped.
