Based on pressure reading at 70ºF.
Includes oxygen for three crewmembers breathing 100% oxygen for emergency descent plus two minutes. Normal dillution for remainder of flight.
Increase oxygen required by 37 PSIG for each crewmember on oxygen at/above FL410 for each 60 minutes.
Maximum system pressure is 1800 PSIG. Values in excess of 1800 are shown for interpolation purposes only.

SUPPLY FOR:
|
DURATION AND CABIN PRESSURE ALTITUDE
| -
All occupants of flight deck seats on flight deck duty
|
Entire flight time when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 13,000 ft and entire flight time when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 ft but does not exceed 13,000 ft after the first 30 minutes at those altitude, but in no case less than:
-
30 minutes for aeroplanes certificated to fly at altitudes not exceeding 25,000 ft (Note 2)
-
2 hours for aeroplanes certificated to fly at altitude more than 25,000 ft (Note 3)
| -
All required cabin crew members
|
Entire flight time when cabin pressure altitude exceeds 13,000 but not less than 30 minutes (Note 2), and entire flight time when cabin pressure altitude is greater than 10,000 ft but does not exceed 13,000 ft after the first 30 minutes at these altitudes.
| -
100% of passengers (Note 5)
|
Entire flight time when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 15,000 ft but in no case less than 10 minutes. (Note 4)
| -
30% of passengers (Note 5)
|
Entire flight time when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 14,000 ft but does not exceed 15,000 ft.
| -
10% of passengers (Note 5)
|
Entire flight time when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 ft but does not exceed 14,000 ft after the first 30 minutes at these altitudes.
|
Note 1: The supply provided must take account of the cabin pressure altitude and descent profile for the routes concerned.
Note 2: The required minimum supply is that quantity of oxygen necessary for a constant rate of descent from the aeroplane’s maximum certificated operating altitude to 10,000 ft in 10 minutes and followed by 20 minutes at 10,000 ft.
Note 3: The required minimum supply is that quantity of oxygen necessary for a constant rate of descent from the aeroplane’s maximum certificated operating altitude to 10,000 ft in 10 minutes and followed by 110 minutes at 10,000 ft. The oxygen required in JAR-OPS 1.780(a)(1) may be included in determining the supply required.
Note 4: The required minimum supply is that quantity of oxygen necessary for a constant rate of descent from the aeroplane’s maximum certificated operating altitude to 15,000 ft in 10 minutes.
Note 5: For the purpose of this table ‘passengers’ means passengers actually carried and includes infants.
