Slow Decompression

A slow decrease in cabin pressure caused by a leak in the aircraft. It can be identified by a hissing or whistling noise, along with a gradual decline in cabin pressure.

Rapid Decompression

A sudden and rapid loss of cabin pressure caused by a large hole in the aircraft. It is characterized by an explosive noise, sudden opening of oxygen masks, and a rapid drop in cabin temperature.

PSU Panels

A panel that provides access to various components of the aircraft's oxygen system, including the oxygen masks.

Fixed Oâ‚‚ System

An automatic system that releases oxygen masks in the cabin when the aircraft reaches an altitude exceeding 14,000 feet.
