masks will drop and passenger oxygen system is activated automatically if cabin altitude climbs to 14,000 feet.
What does the PASS OXY ON light mean?

above 27,000 feet with pressure breathing mask on.
Where is the regulator for the oxygen mask?
On the mask. Options are Normal or 100%
How do you don the mask?
Grasp regulator with thumb and forefinger and remove. Squeeze red levers together.

How is passenger oxygen supplied.
Via chemical oxygen generators located at each passenger service unit (PSU).
How are the chemical oxygen generators activated?
By pulling any mask in the unit down. Then all four masks have oxygen flowing.
How do you know oxygen is flowing? How long does it flow for?
A green indicator is located just above the bag and shows green when oxygen is flowing. Approximately 12 minutes. Once started it cannot be shut down.
