6 SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS FOR UNPRESSURISED AIRCRAFT
Supplemental oxygen for flight crew members
6.1 A flight crew member who is on flight deck duty in an unpressurised aircraft must be provided with, and continuously use, supplemental oxygen at all times during which the aircraft flies above 10 000 feet altitude.<\/strong>
6.2 A flight crew member must, in respect of any period during which the member is not on flight deck duty, be provided with the amount of supplemental oxygen that is provided to a crew member in accordance with paragraph 6.3.
Supplemental oxygen for other crew members
6.3 A crew member (not being a flight crew member on flight deck duty) in an unpressurised aircraft must be provided with supplemental oxygen:
(a) in respect of any period exceeding 30 minutes during which the aircraft flies between 10 000 feet altitude and Flight Level 120 (both inclusive); and
(b) at all times during which the aircraft flies above Flight Level 120; and must use supplemental oxygen at all times during which the aircraft flies above Flight Level 140.
Supplemental oxygen for passengers
6.4 Where an unpressurised aircraft carrying passengers flies for more than 30 minutes above 10 000 feet altitude and up to and including Flight Level 140, the aircraft must carry sufficient supplemental oxygen to supply:
(a) 10% of the passengers with oxygen for 30 minutes; or (b) 20% of the passengers with oxygen for 15 minutes.
6.5 Where an unpressurised aircraft carrying passengers flies above Flight Level 140, the aircraft must carry sufficient supplemental oxygen to supply each passenger with oxygen during all periods that the aircraft flies above Flight Level 140.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
