- Deactivates flight deck speakers
What type of oxygen will the quick-donning cockpit crew masks provide?
- Emergency Pure oxygen with positive pressure
- 100% Pure oxygen at all altitudes
- Normal Oxygen/air mixture (ratio depends on cabin altitude)

The green blow-out disc would be missing on the forward right side of the fuselage
What is the O2 duration for the following?
- Passenger O2 12 min
- Flight Attendant cylinder 30 min

Can the O2 door dispensing units be opened manually if it fails to automatically deploy?
Yes, via a Manual Release Tool (MRT) located at each FA station
What does the PBE provide?
- Pressurized O2 and protection from smoke, fumes, and fire up to 40,000 ft for at least 15 minutes
