the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for installation as an alternative to the Puritan-Bennett mask.

 COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

            Note 2: FAA AD 2000-15-16 Amdt 39-11848 refers.

 Compliance: Requirement 1 - Before 12 September 2005.

            Requirement 2 - Before further flight.

            Requirement 3 - As of the effective date of this Directive.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 5 October 2000.

            Background:  The FAA received a report that passengers were unable to activate supplemental oxygen generators during an in-flight decompression due to stress corrosion cracking of the crimped copper alloy ferrules used to secure loops on the lanyard ends. This Directive is intended to prevent failure of the supplemental oxygen system to deliver oxygen to the passengers and flight attendants in the event of decompression, which could result in injury to passengers and flight attendants.
