FLAP MODE
OFF Flap mode (TOO LOW-FLAPS) inhibited. - Avoids warnings with landing at Reduced flap. - CONF 3 sel in MCDU auto inhibits warning when Flap 3 is reached

35. OXYGEN
CREW SUPPLY
High pressure cylinders in LH lower fuselage. Over pressure auto supplied above 30,000ft cab alt to help prevent condensation etc Mix of cabin air and oxy up to 35,000ft cab alt. 100% oxy above 35,000ft cab alt. ON Valve is open, supplying low pressure oxy. - is normal position in flight OFF Valve closed. White light on. A340 Pneumatic latching system allows masks to fall when cab alt exceeds 14,000ft (+0, -500ft). Altimetric flow regulation device controls passenger flow rate from oxy cylinders located behind RH sidewall lining in FWD cargo compartment. A330 Electric latching system allows masks to fall when cab alt exceeds 14,000ft (+0, -500ft). Oxy delivered at constant pressure by oxygen generator which last about 22 min. Oxy generation may emit heat and smoke.

PASSENGER SYS ON MASKS MAN ON

White light when system on. Remains on until RESET on maint panel is pressed. PA automatically broadcasts instruction whether MAN or AUTO deployment AUTO - Normally in AUTO position. Masks auto drop at 14,000ft cab alt. Pressed Masks drop

Maintenance crew use this pb to reset after the system has operated. ON White light comes on, PASS SYS ON light goes off, PA recording stops. - System shut off valves close - Main supply line shut off valves open - ON light goes off when reset complete (3 sec) FAULT Lt Amber when reset failed.
