Air Taxi Pax Oxygen System Rules Eased
The rule allows passengers to use oxygen containers if they meet certain criteria.

Effective June 23, the FAA is eliminating its current rulemaking process for approving passenger oxygen containers (POC) applicable to airline and on-demand charter operations in aircraft with more than 19 passenger seats. The FAA currently assesses each POC make and model on a case-by-case basis, consults with physicians and then conducts time-consuming rulemaking to identify the specific POC model in an FAA regulation. This rule replaces the current process and allows passengers to use a POC on board if the equipment satisfies certain acceptance criteria and bears a label indicating conformance with those criteria.
