With oxygen equipment aboard, the pilot can choose the higher altitudes which give the smoothest flight, the most favorable winds, the best performance from the Omni and other radio navigation equipment, the highest speed, the longest range, and the best engine performance. The pilot can have these advantages safely with oxygen, because his or her own performance will not be affected by hypoxia; he or she will be just as efficient and capable as at lower altitudes or even on the ground. With oxygen equipment in use, pilot and passengers will arrive at their destination fresh and fit, without the headache, lassitude and fatigue which often result from prolonged exposure to even mild hypoxia.
