Don't argue with the examiner, you will lose. Before *checks notes* today I thought this would be common sense, but now everyone gets reminded!

Sounds like there's a story to share here, suitably anonymized

That's some impressive precision flying. I wonder if the pilot built it in different vertical layers, to avoid loving up already-drawn lines while doing others.

This is nuts. He nearly made it it feels like. Amazingly all the passengers died but the crew did not. I'll be curious to hear the full investigation that led to the dual engine failure but the airmanship here seems impressive given the situation.

It's the exact opposite of that, both crew died and all passengers got out. It looks like after the right wing struck the sound barrier wall, the aircraft's nose rotated towards and struck the wall, which probably made this accident nonsurvivable for anyone up front. The rear section of the fuselage remained mostly intact and the passengers were able to get out before it burned.

Piper archer but point taken. I'm just trying to figure out if this is worth raising a stink over 100ppm

The health effects of CO depend on the CO concentration and length of exposure, as well as each individual's health condition. CO concentration is measured in parts per million (ppm). Most people will not experience any symptoms from prolonged exposure to CO levels of approximately 1 to 70 ppm but some heart patients might experience an increase in chest pain. As CO levels increase and remain above 70 ppm, symptoms become more noticeable and can include headache, fatigue and nausea. At sustained CO concentrations above 150 to 200 ppm, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are possible.

Yeah, I'd raise a stink. If 100ppm can cause headache, fatigue and nausea? That's a flight safety issue.
