T
Who must coordinate with the LM/BO to determined that sufficient aircrew life sustaining equipment I on board prior to departure?
CMT
Who must ensure that all AFE is distributed and immediately available to all patients before mission departure?
CMT
On missions carrying patients/passengers distribute ______ regardless of planned flight altitude. Ensure ____ is readily available to all liter patients.
EPOS
T/F: EPOS will be distributed and demonstrated prior to departure
T
The EPOS will not function with out removal of the ___________.
Metal Tab
On the EPOS if the red knob separates _________________.

2,000
Crewmember’s occupying a crew station will have an oxygen mask connected and readily available for sue from
before engine start until engine shut down
What is the primary emergency oxygen source for AECM’s?
The MA-1 Portable walk-around bottle
T/F: If the MA-1 portable walk around bottle is not available due to inventory shortage, the PBE/EEBD may be used as a primary oxygen source when performing crew duties.
T
Why were the A-21 regulators modified on the MA-1 bottles?
To restrict flow of oxygen during servicing which reduces the risk of fire when servicing the bottles off the aircraft.

no valve stem is visible.
If the MA-1 walk around bottle is left depleted purge as follows:
Fill the bottle using oxygen recharger hose until full (300 PSI +/- 25)
Turn bottle upside down and turn to emergency
Repeat 3 times
