Oxygen bottle levels are an important preflight item, but even with a full bottle, pilots still need to do some calculating to determine if there is enough oxygen for a planned flight and in case of a diversion. Aeronautical Data Systems (ADS), exhibiting at the Pacific Precision Products booth (No. 2341), has a simple way of evaluating oxygen needs–a program called E-Ops (electronic oxygen planning service) that is available on the company’s Web site.

ADS is demonstrating the program and a new iPhone app called O-2 GO-2 here, but the app won’t be available on the Apple iTunes store until a few weeks after the show, according to v-p Jim Stabile.
