AIR5648A - Fuel Versus Oxygen: Evaluations and Considerations

Details Not available for purchase at this time. Document Number: AIR5648A Project Initiation: 07-20-2011 Project Number: Revision Number: A Sponsor Name: Jim Stabile Title Fuel Versus Oxygen: Evaluations and Considerations Scope Specific federal aviation regulations (Titled 14 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, or 14 CFR) define oxygen system requirements for an in-flight decompression incident. This AIR addresses the operational oxygen system requirements for a decompression incident that may occur at any point during a long-range flight, with an emphasis for a decompression at the equal time point (ETP). This AIR identifies fuel and oxygen management contingencies, and presents possible solutions for the efficient, safe, and optimum fuel/oxygen flight continuation. Oxygen management is a concern to all aircraft, such as single engine types that fly above 10 000 feet and use supplemental oxygen. This document provides a method which can help guide users in developing an oxygen solution for their aircraft. Rationale I need to update some references, keywords, definitions and add new technology.
