Taking a single engine normally aspirated piston aircraft above 10′000 feet is usually not problematic. Most of them have service ceiling in the 13-14′000 feet range. The performance will degrade, but the engine and airframe will do it. But what about your performance ? Personally, flying at 10′000 feet is not a problem. Anything above is for short times only. I flew once at 13′500 feet for 20 minutes, and I clearly felt the symptoms. Click here to read my personal feed-back about hypoxia. [...] [...] Another invisible danger is hypoxia.
