CO Monitors: Aithre a Top Pick

The Aithre Shield eDot 5.0 CO detector interface shown here is fair game for certified aircraft and has both wired and wireless connectivity.

It’s a good thing that more CO detectors are showing up on the aviation market because pilots may never give carbon monoxide in the cabin the consideration it deserves. Even I had an eye-opening moment flying home from AirVenture last summer in a friend’s well-maintained Cessna and found my Aithre Shield portable monitor registering 40 ppm of CO in the cabin. 

If you still don’t fly with a CO detector, this article of our top-pick new products (to supplement our portable CO detector roundup article in the April 2022 Aviation Consumer) is for you.
