This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides design, operation, construction, test and installation recommendations for equipment that automatically presents supplemental oxygen masks to cabin occupants in the event of loss of cabin pressure. It specifically covers automatic presentation for transport category aircraft that operate above 30 000 ft (9144 m) altitude. It also provides guidance for similar equipment used in non-transport category aircraft, or aircraft operated below 30 000 ft (9144 m) altitude.

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.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides general information on Continuous Flow Oxygen Systems which are available, principle functions of those systems and technical approaches to be taken into account during design and realization of systems. However, particular performance specifications and detailed information of manufacturing, testing and integration of such systems is beyond the scope of this document.

Oxygen system integration and performance precautions are in particularly dependent on applicable sections of airworthiness requirements per FAR/JAR 25. In this document information will be provided on common principles and good practices regarding design criteria, installation, manufacturing, safety aspects and system handling during maintenance and inspection.

The scope of this document is related to the particular needs of oxygen equipment with regards to packaging and transportation. The document provides guidance for handling chemical, gaseous and liquid oxygen equipment. It summarizes national and international regulations to be taken into account for transportation on land, sea and air and provides information on classification of hazardous material. The aim of this document is to summarize information on packaging and transportation of oxygen equipment. Statements and references to regulations cited herein are for information only and should not be considered as interpretation of a law. Processes to maintain cleanliness of components and subassemblies during processing and assembly or storage of work-in-progress are outside the scope of this document. Guidance on this can be obtained from ARP1176.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines the performance requirements for equipment to be used by untrained cabin occupants for protection from toxic and irritant atmospheres while on board and during evacuation of an aircraft.

The purpose of this document is to give the reader an overview of the document package which makes up AIR825, Introduction to Oxygen Equipment for Aircraft, and a basic overview (see Section 4) of the operational concerns driven by human physiology during altitude exposure.

AIR5933 provides an overview of contemporary technologies (i.e., sensors) that measure the proportion of oxygen in a gas. The use of these sensors in the aerospace environment, with its special constraints, is discussed and papers/reports with detailed information are summarized and referenced. The sensors are divided into expendable and non-expendable sensors. Expendable sensors are based on electrochemical properties, whereas non-expendable sensors rely on paramagnetic, photo-acoustic, electromagnetic, and laser spectroscopy properties.

This SAE Aerospace Standard defines a bulkhead coupling (with different fitting end styles), which is used in bulkhead cone connection fittings installed in high pressure (3000 psi) oxygen systems for the purpose of mating to applicable oxygen equipment. Dimensions developed from AND10089, Detail Specification Sheet for Fitting End, Design Standard, For Cone Connection.

This document presents a glossary of many terms found in literature related to aviation oxygen systems and associated topics. Such a listing can never be all inclusive, but the majority of important terms are anticipated to be included for reference.

The intent of this document is to provide example of acceptable protection strategies that can be used to achieve the performance required by the AS5722

This document shall address the emergency oxygen system and typical cabin environmental requirements for private and commercial transport aircraft which fly at altitudes above 40,000 feet, by discussing current technologies and certification procedures, which have enabled routine flights at those altitudes.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for bulkhead-on-side-tee cone connection fittings, for use in aircraft oxygen systems at nominal operating pressures up to and including 3000 psi.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for bulkhead-union cone connection fittings, for use in aircraft oxygen systems at nominal operating pressures up to and including 3000 psi.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for bulkhead-on-run-tee cone connection fittings, for use in aircraft oxygen systems at nominal operating pressures up to and including 3000 psi.

Purpose of this Aerospace Information Report is to provide information about different mask configurations, applicable requirements,use, functionality and varying installations on flight deck.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers any protection system that serves the stated purpose. This document establishes minimum performance requirements for emergency equipment, which provides flight deck (sedentary) crewmembers with eye and respiratory protection from toxic atmospheres during in-flight emergencies. Defintion of sedentary: "sedentary" is herein defined as those flight deck crewmembers that remain seated at their flight deck stations throughout the emergency. For those "nonsedentary" cabin crewmembers whose duty it is to leave their flight station during an emergency (for example, to actively locate and fight an on-board fire).

The aim of this document is to establish a standardized approach for Human Subject Testing considering varying performance requirements of different user groups on aircraft as Flight Crew, Cabin Crew and Passengers. The document will provide guidance for definition of significant topics relevant to equipment and system certification. The document will include information regarding ethical aspects, criteria to select human subjects for testing, safety of test subjects, requirements to medical personnel to attend tests and in particular if humans are exposed to elevated altitudes. Recommendation will be provided regarding test result monitoring and data validity

This Aerospace Standard will provide the basis for a certification approach and contain the methods or criteria for verification of performance required for Oxygen Dispensing Units to be used by Cabin Crew up to 25,000 ft. cabin altitude.
