Hornet Aviators Issued Garmin Watches – IOTW Report

Hornet Aviators Issued Garmin Watches

The Navy is providing Fenix 3 watches to those who fly F/A-18 Hornet and E/A-18 Growlers so that they have a better warning system for low oxygen in the cockpit. A recent study conducted by the Navy has documented a number of “cockpit” episodes caused by “hypoxia-like” events that have occurred in these combat aircraft along with the T-45 Goshawk trainers.

While the aircraft have warning systems, the Navy believes they are not as effective as the Fenix 3s.

    Katy Kay

    TWO minutes of Mourning Joe on June 16, 2017.
    Better Best SYNC Timing Pitch.
    So FAST no one saw it coming.
    Many missed it as it happened.
    Read the Replay, OWNERS.
    Unseen, this PITCH started at 7:38 AM EST

    Setting the Stage…
    msNBC Mourning Joe at his Pale Players Portrayer Club
    On the recccord and verbatim.

    Joe One Note:
    By the way…We haven’t gone around this mourning and talked about how great Mika is.
    How honored are you to be able to be working here with Mika?

    Donny Deutsch
    I just want to say that it is a privilege to be able to, no no no no, this is, it is a privilege, Mika, that I am able to serve the Will.

    Joe One Note:
    Katy why are you honored to be here on the set with Mika?

    Katy
    It’s a blessing to serve her Agenda. Her AGENDA. Her Mission.
    To be part of Mikas Mission to bring truth to the World is an honour.

    Joe One Note:
    Can I ask you something? So you look back over your entire life, right,
    and you look back at the high moments, you have four children, would you not say serving with Mika here is actually a greater honor and you feel more like a gift from God than having had children?

    Katy
    Pales! Pales by comparision! I WOULD FORSAKE MY CHILDREN IN A HEARTBEAT! For the honour of the Mission… of the MISSION!

    Donny Deutsch
    Joe can I say what an honor it is to be behind you also.

    Halperin Jester:
    General we have less than 30 seconds. Would the techniques and ideas in this book apply to managing a mourning television program?

    McChrystal 4Gems:
    It absolutely would. All you need is People to believe.
    Ha Ha Ha.

    Joe One Note:
    That is at the end of the day, though, that is, I mean we have People on this show that come in at 10 at night… I know you were joking…but…

    Halperin Jester:
    No. I wasn’t.

    Joe One Note:
    What’s incredible is you walk downstairs and there are people that come in at 10 at night thay work till 10 or 11 in the mourning. They stay here PAST. They Do THINGS and I always explain to people it’s more like a CAMPAIGN than it is a job. We’re all together. I mean isn’t that the KEY at the END of the DAY is for everybody to have BUY IN to whatever ORGanization it is.

    McChrystal 4Gems:
    And everybody understand WHAT YOU ARE PRODUCING.
    Everybody working to PRODUCE what you’re doing right at this MOMENT.

    Joe One Note:
    Congratulations.

  2. At least they are using some commons sense, to address the danger while they hopefully track down and correct the underlying cause.

    My son was a forward observer. His first phone call back home from Afghanistan was to ask us to ship him a “Garmin” GPS system to double check the one the Army issued him, just to be sure before he called in rounds. Due to the long approval process the civilian Garmin is apparently far more advanced.

  3. I use a 4 gas personal monitor at work that would be better than a wrist mounted gadget. It does O2 and is Life Safety rated. About the size of a pack of cigarettes, and will run all day. Industrial Scientific MX-4. I think they are less than a grand these days.

  4. They are less than 3K a piece, that’s easy aquisition.

    The quad gas analyzers are a nice tool that the Submarines use
    as a backup check as they have a changing atmospheric pressure model.

    As long as the Garmins are calibrated to scale partial pressure
    mixed gasses in a pressurized compartment they are probably much more
    accurate. It’s a good secondary alarm.
