Simulate carbon monooxide poisoning

Open onox opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

When cabin heat is used, air is routed over the surface of the muffler. CO amount depends on cabin heat slider and EGT. Some info: http://www.avweb.com/news/maint/182828-1.html

In late 90's, some new 172R's had this problem. See Priority Letter AD 98-02-05.

Checklist:

  1. Turn off cabin heat
  2. Fully open cabin air
  3. Lean mixture

Nice, I am really surprised they used this method to get hot air, talk about dangerous. How often do you see deteriorating muffler systems, Have you ever watched water poring out of a muffler? Metal + water = carbon monoxide poisoning. I think I would be checking the shroud and manifold daily.

There is usually a detector attached to the right side of the panel. It is more or less of the size and shape of a credit card. This is a reference, in case we want to model this: http://qginc.com/sites/default/files/styles/media_gallery_large/public/QuantumEye.png

@onox If you want to model this detector, I can create textures for you. Just let me know.

It is better add a sticker on the panal, and for #1333 C172SP with G1000 version, the G1000 could also shown protencial CO leak.

Add a sticker image
