In addition to SOP mask tests, the airplane itself bleeds a bit of oxygen for about 30 seconds upon engine start. This test is enabled when there is an air to ground mode change, indicating there was a flight cycle. The purpose is to confirm available O2 pressure and volume downstream of the shutoff valves.
