What type of O2 will the quick-donning crew masks provide?
What type of O2 will the quick-donning crew masks provide?
- Emergency = Pure O2 with positive pressure
- 100% = Pure O2 at all altitudes
- Normal = O2/air mixture (ratio depends on Cabin ALT
During preflight how would you know if the cockpit crew O2
has been over pressurized?
During preflight how would you know if the cockpit crew O2
has been over pressurized?
The green blow-out disc would be missing on the forward right
side of the fuselage
What is the O2 duration for the Pax O2, FA cylinder, and PBE?
What is the O2 duration for the Pax O2, FA cylinder, and PBE?
- Pax O2 = 12 mins
- Flight Attendant cylinder = 30 mins
- PBE = 15 mins
When will the pax O2 masks auto deploy?
When will the pax O2 masks auto deploy?
Once reaching a Cabin ALT of 14,000’ MSL
Can the O2 door dispensing units be opened manually if it fails to auto deploy?
Can the O2 door dispensing units be opened manually if it fails to auto deploy?
Yes, via a MRT located at each FA station
What does the PBE provide?
What does the PBE provide?
- Pressurized O2 and
- protection from smokes, fumes, and fire up to FL400 for 15
mins
Blue = Good
Pink = Bad
Vacuum loss= Bad even with a blue indication
You have a vacuum loss on the PBE, will it indicate Blue or
Pink?
