NTSB Recommends FAA Amend Oxygen Generator Safety Standards
The NTSB recommends updating FAA regulations to enhance oxygen generator safety.
The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration amend 14 CFR 23.1450(B)(2) and 14 CFR 25.1450(B)(2) to require each oxygen generator canister containing the sodium chlorate candle be equipped with an over-pressure relief valve or similar overpressure protection. This recommendation aims to improve safety measures related to oxygen generation systems in aircraft.
