Pilot and Crew Mask Workshop
The human body depends on oxygen. As altitude increases and pressure decreases, the amount of oxygen the human body can absorb during breathing decreases. To enable high-altitude flight, either the aircraft cabin must be pressurized to simulate lower altitude pressure, or the aircraft occupants must be provided with supplemental oxygen. At cruise levels typically flown by commercial airliners, loss of pressure can quickly lead to incapacitation. The higher the altitude, the shorter the useful consciousness time.
According to regulations, oxygen masks must be available to aircraft crew to provide them with a breathable air supply. These masks are used in the event of a pressure drop that raises the cabin altitude above an acceptable level, or during a smoke event. The use of masks will be determined by organizational policy and national regulations. Therefore, the importance of the pilot and crew mask workshop becomes evident from this point.
The device available in the pilot and crew mask workshop, designed and manufactured by this company, is capable of testing the mask under various flight conditions. The amount of oxygen entering the mask depends on the flight altitude and breathing, and with this device, high-sensitivity adjustments can be made.
