Are these planes pressurized?

I saw one on flight aware cruising at 16,000? Im going to assume he had an oxygen mask on.

Most of them have an O2 system built in.

I adapted a mountain high pulse demand system to the Cessna / Cirrus Systems when ferrying long distance it works great for Conserving O2 when it's $350.00 a refill for a 182 to 208 in some places.

I've been up at FL190 in the Caravan in the Carribean. Its a bit doggish, but it'll do more too.

...and ive picked up enough ice in one that i was trading altitude for airspeed...just because the plane will DO it dosent mean it should be duplicated ie; FL190

Plus it would take for-freakin-ever to get up there.

But at least you won't get cold. DANG that bleed air heat is lovely!
