Anyone carry one in the cockpit or have any experience with their use?

Always had them dog-eared as a potential bit of safety kit but never have purchased one.

Only place I really see them is pressurized jets, and typically large ones at that


Do you already carry o2?


For me, in a non pressurized piston, I’d probably just carry an extinguisher

Had them and trained on them on all my work planes. They suck. They work, but they suck. Given the ventialtion on a GA plane, risk/reward and what might be on fire and what can quickly go out a window if need be....I don't see there value on our GA birds.

Thanks for the feedback!

Kinda what I've been thinking. My 206 has vents front and back and both side windows open.

I've got a fire extinguisher on my seat frame, and the plane has onboard o2, although it's not always set up for quick access.

In that case I’d say keep what you got

If you got kids or people playing on lithium iPads and stuff in the back and are worried about that (biggest threat for a cabin fire in the 200 series I’d wager)

This is cool stuff
