Are you ready to face the silent threat at 30,000 feet?
HYPOXIA is not just a flight—it's an immersive simulation experience across South America’s most demanding skies.

Depart from La Paz-El Alto (SLLP), the world’s highest international airport, descend briefly into Cochabamba (SLCB) for a simulated check or technical stop, and then continue your journey north to Bogotá (SKBO)—crossing Andean terrain, thin air, and the very limits of human performance.

This event challenges you to simulate a pressurization issue or gradual hypoxia scenario during the first leg. You’ll need to apply oxygen procedures, use QRH/ECAM, and consider descent strategies—all while navigating complex terrain.

Simulate slow depressurization or pressurization failure between SLLP and SLCB.

Practice use of oxygen masks, emergency descent procedures, and PAN PAN calls.

Encourage realism in CRM, crew health awareness, and system management.

Continue to SKBO under normal conditions (or further manage the situation).

Bonus: Fly with a shared cockpit partner for added realism.

This is a simulation challenge, not a race. Whether you’re in an Airbus, Boeing, or regional aircraft, your goal is to stay alive, stay sharp, and stay safe.

✅ Flight planning pack and suggested scenarios will be shared 24 hours before the event.
