Oxygen Systems for Private and Commercial Transport Aircraft Which Fly Above 40,000 feet
AIR6842
This document shall address the emergency oxygen system and typical cabin environmental requirements for private and commercial transport aircraft which fly at altitudes above 40,000 feet, by discussing current technologies and certification procedures, which have enabled routine flights at those altitudes.
Rationale: This document is intended to provide comprehensive reference and background information pertaining to the design and certification of oxygen systems for private and commercial transport aircraft which fly at altitudes above 40,000 feet.
As such, this document shall supersede AIR847, which is non-current and refers to ancient technologies and approaches that are either not applicable or no longer to be used for New Designs.
