I'm under the impression that the cylinders we use in our gliders are NOT
classified as aircraft components, but are, instead, considered "portable"
equipment. To be aircraft components, the glider would have to be
certified with an oxygen system, and none of them are. What we do is (I
believe) no different than the airplane pilot that carries on a cloth bag
with the cylinder and regulator in it, then uses the seat belt to strap it
down next to him. In other words, our gliders do not have oxygen systems
in them, just carry-on baggage that happens to be an oxygen system.

If true, then the cylinders have to meet the regulations for carrying
these cylinders around in cars, busses, etc, which would be DOT
regulations.
