[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would cause a depressurization event in an aircraft like this one?[/quote] Malfunction of the system, door or window, not sealed properly, etc. My question is woukd this type of aircraft have a detection system that would drop oxygen masks? [/quote] Seeing a lot of aviation experts say that if it's an older private plane, which it sounds like it was, the alarm would not be as pervasive as it would on a modern commercial jet. So, instead of a blaring alarm and a flashing "WARNING: OXYGEN LOW" and an autopilot feature to gradually land the plane, on an older plane it would just be a ding. The issue with this is that if the plane is detecting depressurization/loss of oxygen, it's already happened. Confusion takes over your brain relatively quickly in a depressurization situation. So, the alarm would've been dinging but the pilot was woozy and euphoric and had no idea what was going on.[/quote]
