    Passenger Oxygen Masks Packing

    With this Maintenance Briefing Note we


    would like to communicate a maintenance
    tip coming from practical in-service
    experience.
    Passenger oxygen mask packing October 2016

    What happened
    Several in-service occurrences of failed Operational Test of the Pax Oxygen System were reported leading
    to a non-opening of some Oxygen Containers along the cabin.
    Part of the root causes identified for the oxygen containers non-opening is an incorrect packing of the
    Passenger Oxygen Masks inside the containers.

    Why did it happen


    The reason for the test failures is mainly attributed to maintenance error, or non-respect of recommended
    procedures for packing of the Oxygen Masks.
    The procedure to pack the mask inside the Oxygen Containers is described in the CMM, as Oxygen Masks
    are a sub-assembly of the Oxygen Containers.
    For Customer convenience, this task has been added to the AMM based on the CMM procedure.

    In-service experience shows that Oxygen Masks are often packed by maintainers directly inside cabin with
    Oxygen Containers still installed in PSUs, which may be difficult for the maintainer to apply correctly the
    procedure and could lead to incorrect packing.

    Lesson learned
    The correct packing of the mask is described in each Oxygen Container CMM as a subtask of the
    ASSEMBLY Chapter. Hereafter is an example of the figures showing the correct Mask Packing.

    We have been informed about a maintenance tip that by using a thin plate or plastic card to support
    the individual packed masks while the door is open, it can help keep the masks correctly positioned
    in the container while packing is done. This would allow the closing of the door without mask
    movement while freeing both hands to facilitate smooth closing of the container door.
