Along the lines of the latest training video, I recall a carbon monoxide detector being installed in our Harvard versions of the NA-16 series SNJ/AT6 etc, on which we trained ab initio in the 50’s.
The instructors sang the virtues ofg this device which hung low on the instrument panel extreme port sub-panel, out of normal view. It was supposed to assist the maintenance crew to adjust the engine to the proper running at any new altitude AND be a quide to warning the flier of excess CO should he have a head-ache or disorientation in flight.
The elevated powers found the device to cause excess cost and complication and disconnected it. Naturally, I got a previously sea- level-sourced machine at Gunnery School and had an exciting armed trip complete with pounding headache and wonderful visions.
Yup, not properly prepared, she sent me to the hospital on the prairies for a week of testing before I rejoined the gang.
just an observation.
