This document covers minimum performance standards for protective equipment used on the flight deck during rapid decompression (5 to 30 seconds) up to a maximum pressure altitude of 45000 feet. Equipment with the capability to adequately protect flight deck crew from hypoxia up to FL450 is anticipated to provide sufficient protection at lower altitudes. A great deal has been written concerning the consequences of human exposure to high altitude caused by airplane cabin decompressions. The number of airplanes flying in the 35000 to 45000 feet (flight level FL350 to FL450) range is ever increasing; thus, there is a need for protective equipment minimum performance standards based on quantitative physiological data.
