Aerox Offering 'Cylinder Sentinel' Application

Oxygen Purveyor Improves Situational Awareness

Aerox has now made its Cylinder Sentinel application compatible across the board, allowing operators to wirelessly check the current condition of their aviation O2 bottles wherever they are in the plane from a simple phone.

The system doesn't require the installation of any extra batteries or wiring, either, though that doesn't quite mean it does the job with air pressure. Instead, a CR2050 battery is retained in the install kit, which includes a T-fitting to retain the manual pressure gauge as backup. The Aerox app is available for both iOS and Android systems. Overall, it may not seem like the most invaluable luxury addition, but for those who live and work in their planes, having an idea of oxygen on hand can be pretty nifty when the bottle itself is buried under a full load of gear. Being able to boot up an app and check the tank before committing to a long high-altitude jaunt could save a lot of trouble. 

As always, Aerox will make their way to AirVenture to present a FAAST class on the proper use of aviation oxygen for everyone from PPL's putting around in a 152 to the big boys in a 747. CFII and FAAST rep (and Aerox President) Scott Ashton will present a forum going over some of their tips and tricks once Oshkosh gets into full swing. Aerox credits such courses, and technical advancements, for the fact that pilots are more willing than ever to actually use their O2 gear before it's legally required. In the old days, pre-Aerox, they say that it was fairly common for pilots to keep as much O2 in reserve as they could, since tanks were heavy and low-volume. Today, advanced pressure resistance    means we can carry far more oxygen in the same footprint or even smaller, improving safety margins by getting the PIC on the tube sooner for maximum hypoxia protection.
