A person suffering from serious symptoms of altitude sickness has a relatively short period of time of useful consciousness in which corrective action can be taken. The following is a correlation of approximate altitude to the amount of time that a person will have useful consciousness:
* 20,000 ft / 6,100 m = 5-12 minutes (peak of Mount McKinley or Mount Kilimanjaro)
* 25,000 ft / 7,620 m = 3-5 minutes;
* 29,000 ft / 8,840 m = 1-2 minutes; (peak of Mount Everest)
* 40,000 ft / 12,200 m = 9-15 seconds (represents the oxygen that was in a person's system before the exposure)
Dakle, u slucaju dekompresije u normalnom avionu, koji leti iznad 9000m (A330 je leteo na oko 11.000m) vi ste svesni oko 1 minut.
Naravno, ovde nisu uzete u obzir niske temperature, sok, panika i slicno.
