CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

SMOKE DETECTORS

Smoke detectors are mounted in the ceiling of the aft baggage compartment and the lavatory
headliner. Both smoke detectors function automatically when smoke is detected. Each smoke
detector activates EICAS displayed messages, illuminates the MASTER WARNING
annunciators and initiates an aural voice warning alert.

The cockpit test button for the smoke detector is labeled SMOKE DET TEST and is installed in
the auxiliary annunciator panel located on the center pedestal.

TEST
Depressing the SMOKE DET TEST for approximately two seconds activates the red SMOKE
BAGGAGE BAY EICAS warning message, red SMOKE TOILET EICAS warning message, both
red MASTER WARNING annuciators and the “SMOKE” aural warning. The system
automatically resets at the termination of the test.

CABIN BUS DISCONNECT SWITCH

The CABIN BUS/OFF annunciator/switch allows the crew to disconnect the cabin busses from
their respective electrical sources. The upper section of this switch annunciates CABIN BUS
as long as the auxiliary annunciator system is powered. Pressing the switch to illuminate OFF
opens the ground, de-energizing all four cabin bus contactors, thus removing power from the
circuit breakers.

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION (cont’d)

PASSENGER OXYGEN SYSTEM

The aircraft is equipped with two factory installed 115.7 ft3 high pressure oxygen bottles that
provide 5109 liters of available oxygen to crew and passengers in case of emergency. The
existing factory installed oxygen ground service panel, oxygen pressure instrumentation, oxygen
discharge indicators, EICAS messages and displays serve this installation. The existing factory
installed crew oxygen masks and stowage boxes are retained.

The PASSENGER OXYGEN Control Panel, installed on the copilot side console, controls the
passenger oxygen system in the following modes:

• NORMAL – Automatically deploys passenger oxygen masks providing oxygen when the
cabin altitude reaches 14,500 ± 500 feet.

• OVERRIDE – Overrides the automatic altimetric valve and deploys passenger oxygen
masks to provide oxygen regardless of altitude.

• CLOSED – Stops oxygen flow to passenger oxygen system.

• THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN ON – Provides oxygen supply to the outlet located on the right
side cabin for the therapeutic oxygen mask.

In the event of cabin decompression above a cabin altitude of 14,500 ± 500 feet feet, an
automatic altimetric valve will deploy all passenger oxygen masks when the PASSENGER
OXYGEN Control Panel, located on the co-pilot's side console, is selected to the NORMAL
position. The flight crew may elect to manually deploy the passenger oxygen masks at any time
by selecting the OVERRIDE position on the PASSENGER OXYGEN Control Panel.

When the passenger oxygen masks deploy the following additional events will occur:

• The amber PAX OXY ON message will appear on the EICAS Display, an aural caution
(single chime) tone will sound and the flashing amber MASTER CAUTION annunciator
will illuminate.

• The NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELT ordinance signs will illuminate.

• The cabin chime will sound.

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION (cont’d)

PASSENGER OXYGEN SYSTEM (cont’d)

Passenger oxygen mask drop boxes are installed at each passenger seat, at the observer
jumpseat, and in the lavatory. Each oxygen drop box is equipped with two constant flow oxygen
masks. The cabin oxygen masks are approved for emergency use at cabin altitudes up to
40,000 feet. However, they may not provide sufficient oxygen for prolonged operation above
34,000 feet cabin altitude. Prolonged operation above 25,000 feet cabin altitude with
passengers on board is not recommended.

The lavatory oxygen mask does not utilize lanyards and begins to flow oxygen immediately
when deployed.

Therapeutic oxygen outlet is located on the cabin right hand side wall just forward of the over-
wing exit. The outlet is identified by placard as THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN OUTLET. The oxygen
regulator is a constant pressure type and self-sealing. Therapeutic oxygen is available at all
times when the THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN push button annunciator, located on the Passenger
Oxygen Control Panel, is selected to the ON position. The therapeutic oxygen outlet will deliver
7.5 LPM.

Electrical power is not required for operation of the crew and passenger oxygen system except
for the therapeutic oxygen supply valve.

CHAPTER 7 – SUPPLEMENTS

OXYGEN ENDURANCE – FLIGHT PLANNING

Aircraft range limitation as a function of oxygen endurance is dependent on the following


variables:
• Number of crew members (2 to 3)
• Number of passengers (0 to 12)
• Cabin Altitude
• Oxygen system pressure

The aircraft's range imposed by oxygen endurance can be determined by the following
example:

NOTES

1. Available Oxygen Assumptions

Usable (Ref PPG Cylinder Spec) = 5544.0


Leakage (Stnd Assumption) - 332.6
Pre-Flight Checks (3 masks, 100% for 30s @ SL) - 26.7
Operating Rules (1 mask, Normal diluter demand - 84.0
30 minutes @ 6900 cabin alt
when one crew member gets up)
Useful = 5100.7

2. Crew consumption is based on Intertechnique EROS data (curves 407778 and 443726),
and is valid for both MC10-13-03 half face and MF10-03-03 full face oxygen masks.
Assume the following maximum oxygen flow rates per mask:
2.35 LPM (100% Oxygen) at 40,000 feet,
6.30 LPM (100% Oxygen) during descent from 40,000 to 10,000 feet.
2.39 LPM (Normal Diluter Demand) at 15,000 feet
1.97 LPM (Normal Diluter Demand) at 10,000 feet.

3. Passenger oxygen consumption is based on Pacific Precision Products data for the 833-
626-1 Mask Assembly and RCA73-05/-06 passenger oxygen controller data:
Assume the following maximum oxygen flow rates per mask:
3.80 LPM at 40,000 feet
3.80 LPM during descent from 40,000 to 18,000 feet
1.57 LPM during descent from 18,000 to 10,000 feet
1.57 LPM during climb from 10,000 to 15,000 feet
1.57 LPM at or below 15,000 feet

SECTION 7 – SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (cont’d)

OXYGEN ENDURANCE – FLIGHT PLANNING (cont’d)

To reduce data calculation time, the Crew can be conservative and assume that regardless of
the number of passengers on board the aircraft, Stages 1 through 4 oxygen consumption will
be 425 Liters. Stages 1 through 4 involves a descent from 40,000 to 10,000 feet in five minutes
followed by a climb to 15,000 feet in two minutes. Table 1 is based on this assumption and can
be immediately accessed without performing the following calculations.

This AFMS is only concerned with oxygen endurance. Maximum flight duration may be limited
by aircraft fuel endurance.

CREW AND PASSENGER OXYGEN CONSUMPTION:

The following example assumes 5 separate stages from the initial use of oxygen until the aircraft is
established in cruise conditions at 15,000 feet altitude for both the aircraft and the cabin, assuming 3
crew, 12 passengers.

STAGE 1 RAPID LOSS OF PRESSURIZATION TOTAL CONSUMPTION


Aircraft Altitude = 40,000 feet
Cabin Altitude = 40,000 feet
Reaction Time = 30 seconds
Oxygen Consumption (Crew, 100% oxygen)
=0.50 min X 2.35 LPM X 3 Crew = 3.53 L 3.53 L
Oxygen Consumption (PAX)
=0.50 min X 3.80 LPM X 12 PAX = 22.80 L 26.33 L

STAGE 2 EMERGENCY DESCENT


Aircraft Altitude = 40,000 feet to 10,000 feet
Cabin Altitude = 40,000 feet to 10,000 feet
Time = 5 minutes
Oxygen Consumption (Crew, 100% oxygen)
=5.0 min X 6.30 LPM (average) X 3 Crew = 94.50 L 120.83 L
Oxygen Consumption (PAX)
=3.67 min X 3.80 LPM X 12 PAX = 167.35 L 288.18 L
+1.33 min X 1.57 LPM X 12 PAX = 25.06 L 313.23 L

CREW AND PASSENGER OXYGEN CONSUMPTION: (cont’d)

STAGE 3 RECOVER AT 10,000 FEET


Aircraft Altitude = 10,000 feet
Cabin Altitude = 10,000 feet
Time = 10 minutes
Oxygen Consumption (Crew, Normal oxygen) =
10.0 min X 1.97 LPM X 3 Crew = 59.10 L 372.33 L
Oxygen Consumption (PAX) =
10.0 min X 0.0 LPM X 12 PAX = 0.0 L 372.33 L
(PAX Oxygen selected closed at 10,000 feet)
STAGE 4 CLIMB TO 15,000 FEET
Aircraft Altitude = 10,000 feet to 15,000 feet
Cabin Altitude = 10,000 feet to 15,000 feet
Time = 2 minutes
Oxygen Consumption (Crew, Normal oxygen) =
2.0 min X 2.39 LPM X 3 Crew = 14.34 L 386.67 L
Oxygen Consumption (PAX) =
2.0 min X 1.57 LPM X 12 PAX = 37.68 L 424.35 L
(Passenger Oxygen selected to OVERRIDE at the beginning of the climb)

STAGE 5 CRUISE AT 15,000 FEET


Stage 5 is the continuation of the flight at a cruise altitude of 15,000 feet.
The remaining oxygen available is 4895 liters. This assumes usable oxygen from the
tanks is 5544 liters less 6% leakage, 26.7 liters for preflight checks, and 84.0 liters.

5544 L (usable) – 443.3 L = 5100.7 L (available)

Stages 1 through 4 have consumed approximately 424.4 Liters.

5100.7 L – 424.4 L = 4676.3 L

The 4676.3 Liters of remaining oxygen can now be used to calculate the oxygen
endurance by using the oxygen usage rates of 2.39 LPM for each crewmember
and the 1.57 LPM for each passenger at a cruise altitude of 15,000 feet.

4676..3 L = 179 mins


(2.39 LPM x 3 crew + 1.57 LPM x 12 pax)

SECTION 7 – SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (cont’d)

ALTERNATE METHOD OF DETERMINING OXYGEN ENDURANCE

An alternative method of determining oxygen endurance is to assume that under a worst case
scenario that 425 Liters of oxygen will be used to arrive at a cruise altitude of 15,000 feet.

5100.7 L – 424.4 L = 4676.3 L

This leaves 4676 Liters of usable oxygen at a consumption rate of 2.39 LPM per crewmember and
REVISED 07 JUL 06

1.57 LPM per passenger. Table 1 lists the oxygen endurance in minutes.

The lavatory oxygen masks do not utilize lanyards and begin to flow oxygen immediately when
deployed. Oxygen endurance times shown in Table 1 account for deployed lavatory oxygen masks.
