Wow Dico………..
Well…let me tell you something LOL
I HAD CO in my pressurized cabin, the alarm went off and we (My CFII and I) cancelled our training flight because of this. The reason was very simple, but could turn deadly without a CO detector. The Hose that connected the Turbo giving us the pressurization had a rip in it, which was not visible during maintenance but had enough of an opening to let the CO coming in. (I will have more details on my website soon).
So DO not think it cannot happen, because it will. Also when you forget your door seal (either the pump or the switch) then you will get also a CO warning (which will remind you of using the door seals LOL)
So don't save there…..is not wise, little gadgets like that can help you making you a better pilot (like the AOA)

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,
-Dico
