Make sure that you brought supplemental oxygen because the C172 isn’t pressurized. I am actually really surprised that it could even perform at altitudes as high as Telluride!

Hmm… I didn’t climb any higher than 11000 ft and since people can survive without oxygen masks all the time in cities like El Alto/La Paz that are at 13000ft, I feel like 11000ft would be ok without any oxygen tanks, but maybe not. I guess people in those cities are just adjusted to breath less oxygen.
Oh wow, I somehow thought that Telluride was a lot higher than that. Anyways great flight!

Telluride is at 9000 feet, I’ve been there before irl and I was fine.

Lol, I live at 2,700 ft and the highest I have been is 7,850ft, needless to say you would probably get a good headache after you got off that plane.

Well you live in “the mountains” 🤔 wait… I do to Idaho duh.
Even at 9,000ft the C172 has some trouble
Yeah that’s what I thought

at 8,000ft ASL you start to get altitude sickness (unless of course you have an altitude head start) so I feel really bad for that poor pilot.
