Module 11. Aeroplane aerodynamics, structures and systems

The life of an aircraft oxygen cylinder is

  • 4 years.
  • 10 years.
  • 2 years.

Explanation

Aircraft oxygen cylinders are subject to a periodic life/overhaul interval, with lightweight cylinders typically requiring hydrostatic test and overhaul every 4 years. The longer 10-year figure applies to heavyweight industrial cylinders, not the lightweight types fitted to aircraft.

soonhchong asking:

As i know the oxygen cylinder are removed for overhaul and tested is every 4 year
so life of an aircraft oxygen cylinder is 4 years also?! or 5 years will be the most correct answer?

The time between overhauls is 4 years, but this not life. Mistakes are in answers.
