Q: What are the two acceptable methods for providing oxygen to passengers when oxygen is required for 10% of passengers between 10,000 ft and 13,000 ft?

The oxygen may be provided by (1) a plug-in or drop-out oxygen system with sufficient outlets and dispensing units uniformly distributed throughout the cabin so as to provide oxygen to each passenger at his/her own discretion when seated on his/her assigned seat; or (2) portable bottles, when a cabin crew member is required for the flight.

Q: For a plug-in or drop-out oxygen system used to provide passenger oxygen on routes requiring 10% oxygen for the flight time between 10,000 ft and 13,000 ft, what distribution requirement must the outlets and dispensing units meet?

The outlets and dispensing units must be uniformly distributed throughout the cabin so as to provide oxygen to each passenger at his/her own discretion when seated on his/her assigned seat.

Q: How should the amount of supplemental oxygen for sustenance be determined for a particular operation?

The amount should be determined on the basis of flight altitudes and flight duration, consistent with the operating procedures, including emergency procedures, established for each operation and the routes to be flown, as specified in the operations manual.

Q: When determining the amount of supplemental oxygen for sustenance, what factors must be considered?

Flight altitudes and flight duration, consistent with the operating procedures, including emergency procedures, established for each operation and the routes to be flown.
