I have a carbon monoxide monitor on my panel and it usually shows very low ppm on take off but soon goes to 0 but my last flight I noticed it was not going away and started feeling off, I immediately checked my pulse ox and it read 84! I popped my little window and stuck my cupped hand out an started getting outside air and it jumped back up to 97. Definitely spooky stuff.
Thanks we found this product and it alerts at 9ppm www.amazon.com/Aircraft-Monoxide-Detector-FORENSICS-Vehicles/dp/B076S6KBP2/ref=sr_1_cc_5?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1530911337&sr=1-5-catcorr&keywords=carbon+monoxide+detector+for+cars
I purchased the Walmart First Alert CO710 Carbon Monoxide Detector with 10-Year Battery and Digital Temperature Display that can mount in plain sight of me when flying.
In Florida, I once had a state trooper tell me, the fact that he saw the one broken headlight was a sign to bigger issues and sure enough as he knit picked my rig, he came away with everything from an oil leak to under inflation of fires, so what shall I ever so do, when because its pay back on me time with excessive flying over my RV, I begin to notice ,lights out, one light blinking, sputtery props taking off out St Croix? Oh its get back, loco, ignore? Oh well.
Unfortunately, with no source of heat, such as an electric heater - combined with today's battery technology, you could only fly in non-cold weather. An electric heater is the weakest link because it consumes the most power. Perhaps a separate propane/lpg heater would solve the problem.
Thanks Mary McKay (NTSB) and Dan Bass (pilot, CFI) for helping keep us safe. A second/digital CO detector purchased today, for backup/alert.

I wonder why they keep these so very important subjects so very hidden from the public.
So he crashed??
Please update to give information regarding at what levels of CO one should become concerned in a closed in space.

We badly need to embrace electric aircraft.

SpaXpert Separate LPG/Propane heater? These emit CO as well.
Plus you can get Ohm poisoning....
Battery is just as bad they can leak fumes and explode and really are not safe at all.
