OXYGEN - Normal Operation 1/37

As part of the preliminary cockpit preparation, you

have to check that:

• the full face oxygen masks are stowed in their

respective boxes,

• and the portable oxygen equipment is in its place.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 2/37

 During the external inspection, only 2 items related to the oxygen
system have to be checked:

•the oxygen bay shall be closed,

•the green “OXYGEN DISCHARGE” overpressure disk shall be present.
A missing disk indicates an overpressure of the crew oxygen system.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 3/37

 The aircraft has just been powered.

The OXY indication is amber indicating that the

CREW SUPPLY pb sw on the OXYGEN panel is in the
OFF position.

Select CREW SUPPLY to on.

OFF position.

No. Press the CREW SUPPLY pb sw to on.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 6/37

 Observe that the OXY indication has turned green
indicating that the oxygen is available.
Also check that the high pressure indication
(pressure in the bottle before it is regulated) is also
displayed in green.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 7/37

 An amber half-frame can appear below the
pressure value, meaning that the oxygen pressure
is below 1500 psi.

In this case, you should look at your “MIN FLT

CREW OXY CHART” to check if the oxygen
quantity is sufficient for the flight.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 8/37

 If the amber REGUL LO PR message is displayed, the
oxygen pressure from the regulator is low, and you must
call maintenance.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 9/37

 In order to test an oxygen mask, including its mike, check that:

• the loudspeaker controls located on the glareshield are set to an

appropriate level, and
• the INT reception knob, on the Audio Control Panel, is selected
and adjusted, and the INT/RAD switch is set to the INT position.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 10/37

 You can test a cockpit oxygen mask without removing it
from its storage box.

 You can test a cockpit oxygen mask without removing it
from its storage box.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 12/37

 You can test a cockpit oxygen mask without removing it
from its storage box.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 13/37

 Notice that the blinker flowmeter turns
yellow for a short time and then goes
black, meaning that the oxygen is flowing.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 14/37

 Next, in order to test the emergency oxygen
pressure, you must press and hold the TEST AND
RESET control and the emergency pressure
selector simultaneously.

Press and hold the TEST AND RESET control in

the down position.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 15/37

 Next, in order to test the emergency oxygen
pressure, you must press and hold the TEST AND
RESET control and the emergency pressure
selector simultaneously.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 16/37

 Next, in order to test the emergency oxygen
pressure, you must press and hold the TEST AND
RESET control and the emergency pressure
selector simultaneously.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 17/37

 And press the emergency pressure selector.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 18/37

 No. Press the emergency pressure selector.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 19/37

 No. Press the emergency pressure selector.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 20/37

 The yellow flow indicator
shows us that oxygen is
flowing continuously and
remains on as long as the
EMERGENCY pressure
selector is pressed.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 21/37

 You can hear the oxygen flow
through the loudspeakers.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 22/37

 The final check of the mask is to verify
that the supply selector is on the 100%
oxygen position.

To do this, make sure the selector is in

the down position.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 23/37

 Suppose you are now in flight and a cabin
depressurization happens.
In order to retrieve your oxygen mask from its
container, you must squeeze the red grips.

Click on either of the red grips t.o remove the mask.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 24/37

 Suppose you are now in flight and a cabin
depressurization happens.
In order to retrieve your oxygen mask from its
container, you must squeeze the red grips.

No. Click on either of the red grips.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 25/37

 Suppose you are now in flight and a cabin
depressurization happens.
In order to retrieve your oxygen mask from its
container, you must squeeze the red grips.

No. Click on either of the red grips.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 26/37

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 27/37
OXYGEN - Normal Operation 28/37
 To put the mask on:
• maintain the red grips squeezed,
• fit the mask over your face,
• and release the red grips to secure the fit.

The harness deflates, fitting the mask tightly.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 29/37

 Click on the video window to look at the oxygen mask utilization.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 30/37

 Let’s assume you have used the mask and
restored it. You observe a white OXY ON flag.

Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 31/37

 Let’s assume you have used the mask and
restored it. You observe a white OXY ON flag.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 32/37

 Let’s assume you have used the mask and
restored it. You observe a white OXY ON flag.

No. Press the TEST AND RESET control.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 33/37

 Notice that:

• the OXY ON flag has disappeared,

• the oxygen microphone is de-energized,
• and the oxygen flow is stopped,

Indicating that the mask is now reset.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 34/37

 Cabin altitude > 14 000 feet

Let’s now go to the cabin.

When the MASK MAN ON guarded pb located on the
OXYGEN panel is in the AUTO position, the passenger
oxygen masks automatically deploy if the cabin altitude
exceeds 14 000 feet.

Note: the MASK MAN ON pb can also be used to deploy

the passenger oxygen masks manually.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 35/37

 The PASSENGER SYS ON light
illuminates white on the OXYGEN
panel, indicating that the masks
are deployed.

OXYGEN - Normal Operation 36/37

 Oxygen generation starts when the mask is
pulled down towards the passenger seat.
There are approximately 13 minutes of
oxygen available.
