Crew System
The flight crew oxygen system supplies oxygen to the flight crew if there is a
loss of cabin pressurization, or a smoke emission. The oxygen is supplied by
a high pressure oxygen cylinder. Refill of the oxygen bottle is possible via an
external oxygen cart.
Passenger System
Portable System
The portable oxygen system supplies oxygen to the crew and to the
passengers. Portable oxygen cylinders are provided in the cockpit and in the
passenger compartment.
Caution: Keep all hydrocarbons (Fuel, Lubricants, etc.) away from all source
of oxygen. Oxygen becomes explosive when it touches hydrocarbons. Clean
the tool and make sure Your hands are clean to prevent contamination of the
oxygen system. Put dry and clean metal or plastic plugs on all pipes or units
removed temporarily: Put each pipe or unit in a sealed vinyl bag.

SAFETY SYSTEM
The high—pressure safety outlet on the oxygen cylinder head and the low
pressure safety outlet on the pressure regulator/transmitter are connected to
a discharge indicator on the fuselage skin ( near the access door 8l2 ).The
discharge indicator is a green blowout disc that can be seen from outside the
aircraft. This disc wiII blow out at a pressure of 2.8 to 6.9 bar ( 40 to l00 psig)
to show a yellow indicator. This shows that oxygen has been discharged.
