How is the passenger and CC O2 system activated electrically?

The activation of the passenger and cabin crew (CC) O2 system is performed electrically through a switch located in the flight deck. This design allows the pilots to manage the system directly and ensures that they have immediate and direct control over the oxygen supply in case of an emergency, where cabin oxygen may be necessary due to decompression or other urgent situations.

Having the switch in the flight deck enhances operational efficiency, allowing quick access to oxygen deployment without requiring multiple crew members to coordinate. It ensures that the flight deck crew can activate the system swiftly and effectively, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone on board.

In contrast, options suggesting activation through a cabin switch, pulling a handle, or pressing a button do not reflect the standard operational protocols established to manage cabin conditions, particularly in an emergency. The focus on the flight deck maintains clarity and reduces the possibility of confusion that could arise if multiple activation points were available.
