Join Captain Matt for a look at what happens to the human body at high altitude. Learn about the body's respiratory system, hypoxia and its symptoms, the training and engineering solutions that protect pilots form hypoxia, aircraft pressurization systems, and more. Learners will join in engaging discussions with the teacher and each other, view videos, images and diagrams, and hear first hand stories of high altitude flight from a real pilot. No prior knowledge is required for this class--just an interest in the topic!
