Flashcards

What are Portable Oxygen Bottles (POX)?

Portable oxygen bottles are used for first aid purposes in the passenger cabin. They come in two sizes: 120 liters and 310 liters.

How many outlets do POX bottles have and how do they differ?

Each portable oxygen bottle has two outlets: Hi and Lo. The Hi outlet provides 4 liters of oxygen per minute, while the Lo outlet provides 2 liters per minute.

How long does a POX bottle last?

A 120-liter bottle at the Hi setting provides 30 minutes of oxygen, at the Lo setting 60 minutes, and 20 minutes when both outlets are used. A 310-liter bottle at the Hi setting provides 75 minutes, at the Lo setting 155 minutes, and 52 minutes when both outlets are used.

What is the minimum pressure requirement for POX bottles?

The pressure indicator on a POX bottle should be between 150 psi and 2,000 psi. The sum of the pressure gauges of at least two serviceable bottles must be 2,000 psi or above.

Signup and view all the flashcards

What happens when the pressure in a POX bottle is below 150 psi?

All portable oxygen bottles can be used until the pressure drops below 150 psi. However, if the pressure is below 150 psi, the bottle must be replaced immediately at the main base or in bases with technical support.

What is the pre-flight check for POX bottles?

Before each flight, check that the POX bottles are fixed and secured, the ON/OFF valve is in the OFF position, and the total pressure of at least two serviceable bottles is 2,000 psi or more.

Signup and view all the flashcards

What special rule applies to POX bottles in bases without technical support?

In cases where technical support is limited, maintaining a minimum of 2,000 psi across at least two bottles is crucial, even if some bottles have pressure below 150 psi. This ensures enough oxygen supply in emergencies.

What is the minimum pressure requirement for POX?

A minimum pressure requirement of 2,000 psi across at least two serviceable bottles must be maintained, even if some bottles have a pressure below 150 psi. This is the standard rule.
