The chamber would be a great tool for civilian pilots IMO because you can talk about the effects of hypoxia but until you feel it for real I think that it is easy to go from feeling sleepy to hypoxic without figuring out what is really going on. I did the chamber and it was surprising how long it can take to realize that something is wrong.How many non-military folks go through altitude chamber training?
I've always found it strange how the high-altitude endorsement doesn't actually require a chamber ride...
