From: David Jones
OK, I repeated everything I did on my last flight, watching the CO level, and
I found that I got 45 ppm only when I dropped my flaps to land, and I showed
no detectable levels in flight at any other time.
Apparently, the disruption in airflow brought exhaust gasses into the
airframe at some point, for the rise in levels was immediate when I went full
flaps.
Interestingly, partial flaps on take off gave no readings at all.
So, the bottom line is that I feel much better about the whole thing. And,
seeing the rapid response of the AIM detector really gave me confidence--I
wouldn't fly without one in the cockpit from now on.
