Question 51-1 : The chemical oxygen generator supplies oxygen for about ? [ Teaching aircraft ]

15 minutes

Most commercial aircraft are pressurized at a maximum cabin altitude of 8000 feet where it is possible to breathe normally without an oxygen mask if the cabin pressurization level reaches the equivalent of 14000 feet or higher on the exterior or a decompression occurs above that flying level and hypoxia is possible compartments containing the oxygen masks will open automatically either above or in front of the passenger and crew seats and the oxygen masks will drop down in front of the passenger .an oxygen mask consists of a yellow soft silicone facial cup with white elastic bands for securing the mask to the passenger's face. 1059.chemical oxygen generators is the most common system they use sodium chlorate and iron filings and the supply lasts for about 15 minutes the flow can not be modulated and it is a continuous flow exemple 151 15 minutes.
