Re: Mandatory 10 year AmSafe bottle replacement
a little bit of weight savings, a bit of added comfort from removing the rigid buckle receptacle and getting rid of the airbag belt on your lap.

Re: Mooney pilot who survived crash due to CO poisoning shares his story
a simple $20 battery operated CO detector from Home Depot kept in the cabin probably works as well as any.
