PASSENGER AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

摘要

Passenger aircraft includes seats, display screens facing the seats, and oxygen masks. When oxygen masks are deployed, imperative imagery is displayed that urges the passenger to at least don their oxygen mask, then optionally help others, etc. In some of these embodiments, the passenger aircraft further includes input devices. Each passenger can enter an input that indicates they have donned the mask, so as to see further imagery for guidance. These inputs could be stored in the flight data recorder for subsequent analysis. In some embodiments, passengers enter self-reported data using the input devices. The self-reported data can be stored in the flight data recorder for subsequent analysis of situations, such as when oxygen masks have been deployed.

主权项

1. A passenger aircraft comprising:
a fuselage; a seat within the fuselage configured for a passenger to sit in; an input device configured to enable the passenger to enter inputs; an oxygen mask stored in a stored position above the seat; a releasing mechanism configured to release the oxygen mask from the stored position to a deployed position relative to the seat; a memory configured to store emergency imperative data; a display screen configured to display one or more images to a passenger seated in the seat, in which the display screen is configured to display, due to the emergency imperative data, imperative imagery that urges the passenger to at least don the oxygen mask at a time that the imperative imagery is being displayed; and an activation mechanism configured to cause the releasing mechanism to release the oxygen mask to the deployed position, and also to cause the display screen to display due to the emergency imperative data, concurrently with the oxygen mask being in the deployed position, and in which a first portion of the imperative imagery appears first, and includes a continuation prompt, and a second portion of the imperative imagery appears only after the passenger has entered a continuation input in the input device, responsive to the continuation prompt.
