How many O2 walk-around bottles are there and where are they located?

• A. Two: One in the forward cabin, and one in the aft cabin overhead bin
• B. Two: Both in the cockpit crew area
• C. One: In the forward cabin
• D. Three: One in the forward cabin and two in the aft cabin

Answer: (A)

Portable oxygen walk-around bottles are placed where crew can grab them quickly and carry them as they move through the cabin in an emergency. On the CRJ-550 used by GoJet, there are two of these bottles: one in the forward cabin overhead bin and one in the aft cabin overhead bin. This setup gives fast access from both ends of the aircraft and supports the crew in depressurization or smoky conditions, unlike the fixed oxygen systems used in the cockpit or passenger masks that deploy automatically.
