The question would be how is it pressurized and where is the air inlet?  =
It could actually be more likely in a pressurized airplane if the =
exhaust and the air inlet are not optimally placed from a design =
perspective.  If properly designed, the chances would be very low.  We =
have seen aircraft that a change in AOA resulted in a change in the CO =
content inside the cabin.  That should not be possible in a pressurized =
airplane where the cabin air is coming from the bleed off of the turbo =
compressor, should it? =20

Hi All,

Since I'm new to the IV-P, I am wondering what the level of worry is of =
carbon monoxide getting into a pressurized cabin.  I know with my old =
Cherokee or Mooney, I always had CO detectors (either electronic of that =
little cardboard thing that changes colour)... but with the pressurized =
cabin, I would think there may be less chance, perhaps close to no =
chance, of it getting into the cabin.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,
