Flying in a small plane...
Hello. My wife is pregnant with our first child. She is currently 12
weeks into an apparently uncomplicated pregnancy. She's in good health, and has no specific problems that we know of. I am a pilot, and we own our own small plane. I have heard conflicting advice about flying in small, unpressurized planes while pregnant. She's very comfortable flying, and we like to travel, and would like to travel via general aviation both before and (after a suitable age) after delivery. The aircraft we fly in is not pressurized, and I can generally fly anywhere between 3000 and 11,000 feet above sea level. I have a few questions that I was hoping that a knowledgeable person might help with. 1. What is the maximum altitude that would be 'safe' for for an expectant mother to fly at? 2. Does this vary with the stage of pregnancy? 3. Is there a time when we should simply stop flying? 4. Are there any resources that anyone know of concernign flyign with small children (i.e. headsets, inner-ear issues, etc.? Thanks in advance for any help Cheers, Cap |
