PMOPA's West Coast Regional Event will be a unique, yet important and impactful safety event: a full-day Altitude Chamber Training.

PMOPA will hold a private, members-only high altitude chamber hypoxia course at the Del E. Webb facility in Mesa, AZ. This full one-day course  encompasses an aviation physiology ground lesson and chamber flight to 25,000ft. The flight includes a hypoxia demonstration at altitude, followed by a night hypoxia and visual acuity demonstration at 18,000ft, and concludes with a rapid decompression. Upon successful completion, all participants will receive a certificate of completion and/or training transcript (upon request). The training is WINGS credit eligible.

To attend, all participants must complete and submit a Medical Questionnaire and a Waiver, be in good health, possess an FAA first, second, or third class medical certificate and bring it with them to training. NOTE: Basic Meds are not accepted by Arizona State University for this course.
