11.15 - Oxygen - 4q Flashcards
What do Left hand threads on an oxygen system indicate?
Describe the operation of the Diluter valve?
How is moisture measured in an oxygen system?
What is meant by ‘Purging the Oxygen System’?
What is the concern if pressure drops below the minimum in the oxygen system?
How long is the life of an oxy cylinder?
How would you tell if a Chemical generator has discharged?
Crew oxygen masks requires what flow? (Volumetric flow)
First Aid Oxygen requires what flow?
What % extra oxy masks on-board required?
Crew fit mask in how long?
In terms of pressurisation, at what cabin altitude do the following occur:
-Warning
-Mask drop
What is the likely cause if there is no oxy pressure but bottle is at 1800 psi?
What are oxygen masks left plugged into and why?
The oxy. shut-off valve is wired what way? (default position)
i.e energised closed, in case wire brakes - opens circuit no longer energising closed and shut-off valve goes to default -open position
How is inadvertent mask drop avoided?
If the masks deploy, how is the crew notified?
Oxygen is required to be how pure?
What does the Aneroid capsule do?
Oxygen flow is controlled relative to cabin pressure …?
How can leaks be stopped in a system?
Aluminium should be used to construct what type of pipes?
What is the bag on passenger mask?
What pressure should crew oxygen be?
What is meant by ‘Demand Oxygen’?
If the Mask automatically deploys, what is followed in the cockpit?
Unpressurised A/C = ?
What comes after Hypoxia?
PSU oxgen = ? (time period)
passed into the bottle slowly to keep the temperature at approximately ambient
Charging connection
user breathes in
a hygrometer using the dew point method
Green rupturing disc
Purging oxygen systems is carried to?
a) Purify the system and rid it of moisture
b) Ensure correct operation of the oxygen system
c) Remove water from the system
a) Purify the system and rid it of moisture
If oxygen bottle pressure is allowed to drop below a specified minimum, it may cause?
a) Moisture to collect in the bottle
b) The pressure reducer to fail
c) The automatic altitude control valve to fail
a) Moisture to collect in the bottle

Chemical oxygen generator in a Passenger service Unit can be checked for deployment which means:
a) by checking the oxygen pressure gauge in the cockpit
b) by a pressure switch on the chemical oxygen generator
c) the observation of a band around the generator for discolouration
