FAA inquiry into oxygen-mask deployment and flow
The FAA announced an investigation after reports that many oxygen masks in an American Airlines flight event did not deploy or did not provide oxygen. The concern was linked to inline flow indicators in B/E Aerospace oxygen-mask systems installed on several Boeing aircraft models. Earlier repair information, Boeing service instructions, and later airworthiness directives addressed inspection and corrective work.
