Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the overpressure knob in the oxygen system?

  • To test the microphone by listening to oxygen flow
  • To switch between air/oxygen mixture and pure oxygen
  • To adjust the cabin pressure for altitude changes
  • To allow pure oxygen to flow continuously without demand (correct)
  • At what altitude will the user automatically receive pure oxygen instead of an air/oxygen mixture?

  • Above 20000 feet
  • Above 25000 feet
  • Above 35000 feet (correct)
  • Above 40000 feet
  • What is a potential discomfort associated with using the emergency overpressure function?

  • Inhalation of noxious gasses
  • Inability to receive oxygen on demand
  • Overheating of the oxygen mask
  • Difficulty breathing while exhaling (correct)
  • Which position of the overpressure knob is used for testing the microphone?

    Study Notes

    Oxygen Delivery Modes

    • Normal Mode:
      • Delivers an air/oxygen mixture on demand below 35,000 feet.
      • Provides pure oxygen above 35,000 feet.
    • 100% Selector:
      • When activated, delivers pure oxygen on demand, regardless of altitude.
    • Emergency Function (Overpressure Knob):
      • Controlled by a push and turn knob.
      • Allows constant oxygen flow, not just on demand.
      • Pushed Position: Momentarily provides overpressure for clearing the mask and testing the microphone.
      • Turned Position:
        • Provides continuous overpressure.
        • Used at very high altitudes to prevent inhaling smoke and noxious gases.

    Breathing Considerations

    • Breathing out can be uncomfortable in the emergency mode.
