The aircraft has three separate oxygen systems. These are a flight-crew oxygen system, a passenger oxygen system and a
portable oxygen system. Each system has its own controls and indicators.
2. System Description
The system supplies oxygen to the flight-crew, if there is a sudden decrease in cabin pressurization. It also supplies
oxygen, if there is smoke or dangerous gases in the cockpit. Each crew station has a quick-donning mask with a
demand regulator installed. The oxygen is supplied from a high-pressure oxygen cylinder to the masks (through a
pressure regulator/transmitter assembly and a distribution circuit).
B. Oxygen System
The portable oxygen equipment is installed in the cabin and in the cockpit. It is used to supply oxygen to the crew and
passengers in an emergency and for first aid treatment.
The portable oxygen equipment for the flight crew has a smoke mask and a high-pressure oxygen cylinder .
Communication is continued between the crew members with a separate communication cable. The communication
cable is connected between the smoke mask and the communication system of the flight-crew fixed oxygen system.
The portable oxygen equipment for the cabin attendants has high-pressure oxygen cylinders and continuous-flow
oxygen masks. A Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) is also available for the cabin attendants, if the cabin has
smoke or dangerous gases in it.
