... "Allen" wrote Learjets do indeed use bottled oxygen and it is found in the nose bay area. There is a thin capillary that runs into the cockpit to a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge displays the pressure in the tank regardless of whether the valve is turned on or off. The pressure in the tank can read full on the ground but at low temperature at altitude will read several hundred pounds less. They do? For primary breathing air at altitude? Is there no cabin air pressurization provided by bleed air from the engines? I'm not doubting your word, just trying to understand. I thought all bizjets used bleed air to pressurize the cabins. -- Jim in NC All the business jets I know of do use bleed air for cabin pressurization, and have oxygen bottles for emergency when you have a cabin pressure failure. You only need enough oxygen to get you down to 10k feet. It would be nice to be conscious during this phase. -- Regards, Bob F. |
