Emergency Descent
Hi all,
Just a quick question out of interest, on cabin depressurisation Pilots don Oxygen masks, which I believe are military style, i.e. pressure breathing apparatus?
Whereas the pax get the pure oxygen trickle feed…not to sure of the correct terminology here!
Now after the alert, I would gather that after masking up, the emergency decent is initiated, since the cabin is no longer pressurized are you limited to a max vertical speed to minimize discomfort and possible injury to passengers?
Or is it just a case of get down to FL140 ASAP?
I have not come across anything in my ATPL's on the subject as of yet, and was reading up on the Easy depressurisation and just got me thinking!
Many thanks!
Anthony
