AEROMEDICAL OXYGEN
FAR 135.91 limitations and restrictions do not apply to medical oxygen equipment that is furnished by a professional or medical emergency service for use on board an aircraft in a medical emergency when no other practical means of transportation (including any other properly equipped certificate
holder) is reasonably available and the person carried under the medical emergency is accompanied by a person trained in the use of medical oxygen. Crewmembers shall not connect or disconnect any oxygen supplies.
PASSENGER-SUPPLIED OXYGEN
Except during boarding and deplaning, FAR's prohibits passengers from bringing their own supply of therapeutic oxygen (gaseous or liquid) into the passenger cabin of any aircraft. In response to a passenger's prior request, verified by company operations, we may install a company-owned oxygen bottle for the passenger's use during flight. A passenger-owned, DOT approved, oxygen bottle may be carried as checked baggage or air freight either pressurized (if properly packed, marked, labeled, documented and a pilot notification form prepared) or depressurized. Oxygen bottles not DOT approved must be depressurized to 40 lbs. /sq. in. or less prior to being carried as checked baggage or air freight.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
No person may smoke, and no certificate holder may allow any person to smoke, within 10 feet of oxygen storage and dispensing equipment. The PIC shall be notified whenever passenger oxygen is being dispensed. When oxygen equipment is carried on board—such as a medical flight—the equipment must be stowed, and each person using the equipment must be seated, so as not to restrict access to or use of any required emergency or regular exit, or of the aisle in the passenger compartment.
