More info here:

SR22 overflies SFRA, pilot incapacitated - Pilots of America Message Board

Sadly it looks as though the pilot may have lost consciousness through hypoxia.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but if you fly high enough to use O2, PLEASE carry and use a pulse oxymeter!

No requirement in the US for the pilot of private flights (ie Pt91) to use O2 if the period between 12,500' & 14,000' is no more than 30 mins.

All times are GMT. The time now is 14:06.
