  1. Diluter-demand
  2. Demand
  3. Automatic Safety Pressure
  4. Emergency
Term
What is provided in the Diluter-demand mode of the Reduced High-pressure Demand System?
Definition
Ambient air oxygen mixture
Term
What is provided in the Demand mode of the Reduced High-pressure Demand System?
Definition
100% oxygen flow dependant on the user and the position of the diluter lever
Term
What is provided in the Automatic Safety Pressure mode of the Reduced High-pressure Demand System?
Definition
Positive pressure is delivered to the mask at altitudes above 30,000 feet
Term
What mode of the Reduced High-pressure Demand System provides positive pressure to the mask at altitudes where positive pressure is not automatic?
Definition
Emergency
Term
What are the two parts in the automatic self-opening valves in the cylinders for the AGOS?
Definition
A fusible metal plug and a frangible disc
Term
At what temperature will the fusible metal plug on an AGOS cylinder melt?
Definition
Between 208 and 220 degrees F
Term
At what pressure will the frangible disc on an AGOS cylinder rupture?
Definition
Between 2700 and 30,000 
Term
Where are the AGOS cylinders located?
Definition
In a compartment below the pilot's seat. They are visible after removing a kick panel.
Term
Describe the Tubing and Hoses in the AGOS
Definition
Tubing is contructed of stainless steel with flexible hoses connecting lines to the cylinders. It is 5/16" diameter throughout the system
Term
How many gravity seating check valves are there in the Oxygen Manifold of AGOS? What is their purpose?
Definition
There are 6 gravity seating check valves. They prevent the flow of oxygen from one cylinder to another and from the cylinders through the filler valve
Term
What is the purpose of the Oxygen Manifold in AGOS? Where is it located?
Definition
The Manifold connects all cylinders into one common distribution line. It is located between the oxygen cylinders and the pressure reducer.
Term
Describe the AGOS Pressure Reducer?
Definition
A bellows type reducer used to decrease oxygen pressure from 1800 psi to a working pressure of 53 to 75 psi.
Term
Describe the Relief Valve in the AGOS Pressure Reducer?
Definition
A spring-loaded closed valve which relieves at 145 +/- 15 psi
Term
What happens to excessive pressure in AGOS at the pressure reducer and relief valve?
Definition
It exits through an overboard dump line causing a green blow out disc to blow out
Term
Where is the AGOS Pressure Reducer and Relief Valve assembly located?
Definition
Below the cockpit floor to the left of the pilot's seat
Term
How is the AGOS High-pressure Gauge calibrated?
Definition
0 to 2,000 psi, in increments of 200 psi
Term
Where in the system is the AGOS High-pressure Gauge connected? Where in the cockpit is it located?
Definition
It is connected in the system before the Pressure Reducer, indicating the pressure in the Oxygen Cylinders. It is located on a bracket secured to the rear of the pilot's side console.
Term
Where are the three MD-1 regulators located in the cockpit?
Definition
  • On consoles to the left of the pilot's seat
  • To the right of the copilot's seat
  • On the right side near the top of the flight station circuit breaker for the flight engineer
Term
What are the two components of the AGOS Oxygen Filler Valve and what does each do?
Definition
  • The Check Valve prevents the escape of oxygen from the system
  • The Filter prevents the entry of foreign materials during system servicing
Term
Where is the AGOS oxygen filler valve located?
Definition
In a recessed compartment on the left side of the fuselage below and aft of the pilot's windshield side panel
Term
Describe the AGOS smoke mask. Where is it located?
Definition
It is a full faced mask that contains a flap or curtain of rubber, which forms a ring around the inside of the mask, providing a leak proof seal around the face. It is located in the smoke mask stowage container adjacent to the flight station oxygen regulators.
Term
What does a ruptured green blow out disc in AGOS represent?
Definition
The Pressure Reducer has failed, which would cause loss of oxygen
Term
What are the 6 steps to servicing the AGOS?
Definition
  1. Visually check the green blow out disc in the aircraft oxygen overboard dump line
  2. Ensure aircraft electrical power is off and the aircraft battery is disconnected
  3. Perform preoperational inspection on gaseous oxygen servicing trailer IAW applicable MIM
  4. Remove filler valve cap, attach the O2 Cart Servicing Hose, and service the system to 1800 psi at 70 degrees F
  5. Disconnect O2 cart, reinstall the filler valve cap, and secure access door
  6. Secure O2 cart IAW MIM
Term
What are the 3 types of inspections performed on an AGOS?
Definition
Pre-Flight, Daily, and Special
Term
When is the Pre-Flight inspection performed and for how long is it valid?
Definition
It is conducted prior to the first flight of the day and each subsequent flight to ensure the airworthiness of the system. It is considered valid for 72 hours, provided that no flight occurs and no maintenance other than servicing has been performed.
Term
What is the purpose of the Daily inspection on AGOS and for how long is it considered valid?
Definition
It is conducted to examine the system to a greater depth than the preflight inspection, and is valid for 72 hours, provided that no flight occurs and no maintenance other than servicing is performed.
Term
What is the purpose of a special inspection on AGOS?
Definition
When equipment has a calendar time or flight hour requirement, or any other inspection other than normal maintenance inspections
Term
What is used for maintenance, quality control, and leak detection?
Definition
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
Term
What is ultrasound?
Definition
All sound above 20,000 Hz not heard by humans
Term
Ultrasound is created by what 5 things?
Definition
  1. Vibration
  2. Impact
  3. Turbulence
  4. Friction
  5. Electrical arcing or corona discharge
Term
What are the 3 major parts to the UL101?
Definition

  3. Headset
Term
What are the 6 steps to perfrom an AGOS Leakage Test?
Definition
  1. Service the system to 1,800 psi at 70 degrees F
  2. Allow system to stabilize for one hour
  3. Record ambient air temperature and system pressure
  4. After 24 hours, record ambient air temperature and system pressure
  5. Check against temperature/pressure conversion table
  6. If a loss of 100 psi or more is noted, then system must be leak tested using MIL-L-25567 leak detection solution or Ultrasonic Leak Detector
Term

Definition

Fully qualified technicians or those under the direct supervision of a qualified technician

 

(SAFTEY PRECAUTION)
