The maximum altitude which a pilot can fly without supplementary oxygen is
15000 ft.
At what height does the temperature starts remaining constant and state that
temperature
36090 ft & -56.50 C
10
During a descent
The inflow must be greater than the out flow
11
12
For a pressurized a/c the maximum rate of climb and descend are respectively
500 ft/sec and 300 ft/sec
13
14
15
Barometric capsule connected to a combined rate of change and altitude needle valve at one
end and a threaded selector knob at the other.
16
Discharge valve
Is pneumatically linked to the cabin pressure controller.
17
18
19
20
On start up, with the cabin doors closed and air conditioning selected on, the cabin pressure
Will rise more quickly than the pressure in the control chamber due to the restrictor
21
The crew selects the cabin altitude and rate of climb for the flight plan
Prior to the take off run
22
23
24
25
26
To prevent from occurring Pressure bumping the aircraft should be flown at a level
Lower than the max diff altitude by some 600 to 1000 feet.
27
When the aircraft passes through the 700 feet mark on its final approach the
Cabin pressure and the ambient pressure are equal, so the outflow valve is driven open.
28
In the event of an aborted landing, termed a go around or landing climb, the crew must
Reset the cabin altitude above the airports altitude as the aircraft climbs to minimum safe
altitude
29
31
32
33
34
35
36
37
If both inflows are lost or the outflow is greater than the maximum inflow
The crew can open the emergency ram air valve; this will allow ram ambient air into cabin
via the cabin air conditioning distribution ducts.
38
39
That operates above 25,000 ft or those that operate at or below 25,000 ft, but cannot descend
safely within 4 minutes to 13,000 ft.
Must be fitted with automatically deployable oxygen equipment immediately available to
each occupant, wherever seated
40
The aircraft toilet when oxygen is required each aircraft toilet must have

41
42
Liquid oxygen is
Not used in the civil aviation industry as it is very expensive and poses handling, storage
and safety problems.

50
Oxygen is prevented from flowing to the passenger masks during normal operations by a
barometric valve.
51
52
53
For aircraft that operate from airports where the landing field altitude is less than 2000 feet
Below the normal preset automatic passenger mask presentation altitude, the automatic
presentation altitude may be reset to landing field altitude plus 2000 feet.
54
55
56
57
58
For chemical oxygen generators the door latches of the PSUs are released by
A 28 volt DC electrical signal from a barostatic unit
59
For generators that supply more than one mask activation is initiated by
The first passenger to pull a mask from the half hung position down to his face
60
Cabin crew positions are provided with the same supplementary oxygen system as the
Passengers
61
62
63
For pressurized aircraft that are certified to operate above 25,000 feet the flight crew oxygen
masks must be of the quick donning type.
64
65
66
When un-pressurised aircraft are operated above 10,000 feet but below 13,000 feet for more
Than 30 minutes, or whenever the aircraft exceeds 13,000 feet, all flight crew on duty must
use supplemental oxygen continuously; the responsibility of ensuring this is the
commanders.
67

70
71
For a three hour flight carrying 300 passengers, the first aid oxygen required to be carried is
1620 liters [ x 3 hr x 60 minutes x 3 litters x 6 (2% of 300) = 90 x 3 x 6 =1620]
72
To avoid the risk of cylinders could explode if they were subjected to excessive temperature
Each cylinder is connected to an external vent via a bursting disc.
74
If the oxygen pressure due to thermal heating exceeds the bursting discs design maximum
pressure
The bursting disc ruptures and allows the entire contents of the cylinder to vent to
atmosphere.
75
The mediums that can be used to lubricate oxygen system components and threads are
graphite, carbon or Teflon based materials.

82
83
84
85
In slotted flaps

laminar
86
87
88

angle from 15 to 13 degree
89
90
91
92
93
94
In blown flap
A strong jet of air taken from the compressor bleed or from a dedicated blower is passed
over the flaps
95
In jet flaps
The mechanically operated blown flaps are completely replaced by a linear vent that can be
rotated through which high velocity air is blown.
96
97
Slots
Make re-energize the air by ducting a high energy stream of air from the bottom of the
wings and passing it over the top surface
98
