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?  Walter

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,
