U.S.
OXYGEN SYSTEM
A four-place oxygen system provides the supplementary oxygen
necessary for continuous flight at high altitude. In this system, a 50
cubic foot oxygen cylinder, located in the fuselage tailcone, supplies the
oxygen. Cylinder pressure is reduced to an operating pressure of 70
PSI by a pressure regulator attached to the cylinder. A shutoff valve is
included as part of the regulator assembly. An oxygen cylinder filler
valve is located on the left side of the fuselage tailcone (under a cover
plate). Cylinder pressure is indicated by a pressure gage located in the
overhead oxygen console above the pilot's and front passenger’s
seats.
Four oxygen outlets are provided; two in the overhead oxygen console
and two in the cabin ceiling just above the side windows (one at each of
the rear seating positions). One permanent, microphone-equipped
mask is provided for the pilot, and three disposable type masks are
provided for the passengers. All masks are the partial-breathing type,
equipped with vinyl plastic hoses and flow indicators.
