O2 and passengers.
-
I was flying at 15000ft i was using the on board oxygen and noticed it was not really accounting for all the pax in the back full load. The usage rate should have been more.
My question is is their a value or switch i need to turn on for passenger o2 or is that even modeled?

Since the Caravan is often flown at altitudes where crew oxygen is required, but passenger oxygen is not (12,500-15,000), I didn't want all the passengers to reduce the effective range of the aircraft at those altitudes by increasing the oxygen consumption rate by as much as six times over. What I could do is have the passengers not consume any oxygen until near the required 15,000ft. How does that sound? I haven't done that for any of my other aircraft, but I think it makes more sense for the Caravan, given its particular circumstances.

@Black-Square that's sounds like a deal. I'm down for what ever solution you think is best. And I appreciate the reply.

@X1aviation Already done and documented
Thanks for having me take a look. -

I understand the rationale for that (the requirement, not the way you implemented it), but that sounds rather uncomfortable as a passenger, no?
