The masks automatically drop from the PSUs prior to the cabin altitude reaching
the greater of:
• 15,000 feet, or
• origin airfield altitude +2000 feet, or
• destination airfield altitude +2000 feet
The passenger cabin masks can be manually deployed from the flight deck by
pushing the PASS OXYGEN switch on the overhead panel to the ON position.
[Option – Overhead crew rest]
The passenger cabin system provides oxygen to the main seating area, galleys,
flight attendant stations, overhead crew rest areas, and lavatories.
Overhead Crew Rest Oxygen System
[Option – Overhead crew rest]
The overhead crew rest oxygen system is considered part of the passenger cabin
oxygen system and its operation is identical. See Passenger Cabin Oxygen System
description in this section.
Portable Oxygen Bottles
Portable oxygen bottles are stowed in various locations in the passenger cabin.
The bottles are fitted with disposable masks and are used for first aid purposes or
as walk–around units. All bottles are identical in size and capacity.
Doors
The airplane has eight passenger cabin entry doors, a flight deck door, and two
large cargo doors. It also has a bulk cargo door, an overhead door in the flight deck
ceiling, one equipment access door located forward of the nose gear, and two
electrical and electronic (E/E) equipment access doors, one aft of the nose gear
and one aft of the wing box.
CAUTION: Do not operate the entry and cargo doors with winds at the
door of more than 40 knots. Do not keep the door open when
wind gusts are more than 65 knots. Strong winds can cause
damage to the structure of the airplane.
An EICAS message is displayed when the flight deck door, a passenger cabin
door, or large cargo door is not closed, latched, and locked. Likewise, an EICAS
message is displayed when the bulk cargo door, overhead flight deck door, or an
access door is not closed and latched (there are no locks on these doors).
