______ 6. A chemical oxygen generator has a supply duration of at least? 

  1. 15 minutes  C) 5 minutes 
  2. 30 minutes D) 25 minutes

______ 7. If an aircraft suddenly drops pressure at 14, 000 feet: 

  1. Attendant must drop masks. — 
  2. Masks drop manually. 
  3. Passenger must get mask from overhead stowage.  
  4. Masks drop automatically. 

When the PSU doors open the masks drop to the half-hung position.

The doors of the unit are automatically by a barometrically controlled release mechanism if the cabin altitude reaches 14 000 feet or by manual selection by the flight cew at any altitude.

REVIEWER 3.2

  1. In regards to passenger oxygen system during aircraft depressurization, why is it important to put on your oxygen mask first before assisting to put the mask of others? 

It is because of the “time of consciousness”, they might fail to assist others when they are becoming dizzy every second. His/her plan to assist others might be more effective if he put the mask first so he can help more effectively and avoid hypoxia.

  1. Can the passenger doors and the overwing escape hatches be opened during flight or when the aircraft is at cruising altitude? Explain your answer.

The passenger doors and the overwing escape hatches cannot be opened during flight or when the aircraft is at cruising altitude because of the differential pressure between the inside cabin and the outer atmospheric pressure. Also, if the hatches and doors are opened during flight, the people inside will get suck outside and the aircraft will experience difficulties.

  1. Why do you think megaphones that will be used by the cabin staff for passenger information and emergency situations are not required for airplanes having passenger seats of 60 and below?

Aircraft having passenger seats below 60 are smaller compared to other aircraft that need at least one megaphone during flight. The crew’s voice will easily reach the people inside the cabin and the emergency exits in a smaller aircraft can be accessed easier than exits in bigger aircraft.

  1. Will the airplane still authorized to fly if the fire-proof gloves and jimmy/crowbar are missing on board the plane? Explain your answer. 

No, an airplane must have at least one crash axe or crowbar on the flight deck if this aircraft has a maximum take-off mass exceeding 5700 kg or having a maximum seating capacity of more than 9 seats.

  1. Will the airplane still authorized to fly if there is one (1) slide raft that is inoperative in one of the passenger cabin doors? Explain your answer. 

The airplane with one inoperative slide raft in one of the passenger cabin doors will not be authorized to fly because it will be a big hindrance to achieve the 90 seconds rule to evacuate all the people inside the aircraft.

Also, there is a rule that aircraft that takes off or lands over water, or operating more than 120 minutes flight time or 400 miles from land, need rafts and life jacket to be carried inside the aircraft at all times.
