A method of automatic delivery of appropriate flow rate of oxygen to a person flying in a pressurized aircraft cabin is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first aneroid valve that is responsive to differential gas pressure in a first altitude range is preset to close at a oxygen starting altitude point based on apriori lung capacity test. Further, flow of oxygen is initiated from an oxygen bottle using quarter turn switching regulator connected to the oxygen bottle via a minimum flow area of main valve to output a mixture of the flow of oxygen and aircraft cabin air into a mixing chamber. Furthermore, the first aneroid valve is gradually closed in response to increasing aircraft cabin pressure altitude to stop the pilot flow of oxygen during the first altitude range. Then, main valve is opened upon closing the first aneroid valve to flow pressurized oxygen into the mixing chamber.
