Oxygen
XVII of XVIII

Q 01: On which ECAM page could the flight

crew check the exact pressure of the
oxygen cylinder?
A: The 
PRESS
 page.
B: The DOORS page.
C: The COND page.
D: The STATUS page.

Q 02: What is indicated by a missing

green thermal plug during an exterior
preflight?
A: An oxygen system overpressure or
thermal discharge.
B: This is normal indication, the green
thermal plug  only appears if the oxygen
cylinder is low.
C: The crew oxygen bottle is empty.
D: An external fire discharge has been
activated.
Q 03: Approximately how long are
the passenger oxygen generators able to
produce oxygen?
A: 15 minutes.
B: 20 minutes.
C:25 minutes.
D: 30 minutes.

Q 04: What is the main difference between

the crew and the passenger oxygen system?
A: There is no difference: both are
served by oxygen  cylinders.
B: Crew is supplied from an oxygen
cylinder;  passengers are supplied by
chemical oxygen generators .
C: Both the crew and passengers are
supplied with oxygen from chemical
oxygen generators.
D: The crew has an oxygen bottle for
an emergency back-up supply.

Q 05: What is the purpose of the CREW

SUPPLY push button?
A: When selected to ON, it supplies
oxygen to the Captain & F/O only
(jumpseats are not supplied)
B: When selected to ON, it allows the
flow of low pressure oxygen to the
crew’s masks.
C: In case of low cylinder pressure it
allows the  crew to tap into the
passenger oxygen system.

Q 06: What happens when the mask is used

with the selection at 100% position?
A: Mask is supplied with diluted oxygen
on demand.
B: Mask is supplied with undiluted
oxygen on demand.
C: Mask is supplied with undiluted
oxygen continuous flow.
D: Mask is supplied with diluted oxygen
on demand.

Q 07: At approximately
what cabin altitude should the passenger
oxygen masks drop?
A: 10,000 feet (+100, - 500 ft)
B: 12,500 feet (+ or - 500 ft)
C: 14,000 feet (+0, - 500 ft)
D: 15,000 feet.

Q 08: What does an amber OXY on the ECAM

Doors mean?
A: The crew supply switch is turned off
and/or oxygen pressure is less than 400
psi.
B: The crew supply switch is turned off
C: Oxygen pressure is less than 650 psi.
D: Oxygen pressure is less than 300 psi.

Q 09: Illumination of the SYS ON light is

an indication that:
A: The crew must depress the MASK MAN ON
pb in order  to deploy the masks.
B: Electrical power has been sent to
deploy the  masks, either manually or
automatically.
C: The crew oxygen cylinder is empty.
D: All of the passenger masks have
deployed.

Q 10: There are oxygen generators in each

aircraft’s galley.
A: True.
B: False.

Q 11: What will depressing the guarded

MASK MAN ON pb accomplish?
A: A signal is sent to the chemical
oxygen generators to start the flow of
oxygen to the masks.
B: It manually sends a signal to open
the oxygen mask doors.
C: Both are correct.

Q 12: When does passenger oxygen flow

start?
A: When the mask is pulled toward the
seat.
B: When the oxygen doors open.
C: When the oxygen button is pushed.

D: When cabin altitude exceeds 14,000
