Oxygen problems

Abstract

SEVERAL rapid decompression mishaps involving DC‐10 and L‐1011 aircraft have disclosed problems with chemically generated passenger supplemented oxygen systems. The National Transportation Safety Board's special study, “Chemically Generated Supplemental Oxygen Systems in DC‐10 and L‐1011 Aircraft”, indicates that these problems are primarily the result of a lack of understanding of the system by both passengers and flight attendants.
