Where are crew oxygen masks typically located and how are they activated during an emergency?

• A. In overhead bins near the cabin crew rest area; activated by a switch on the panel.
• B. At each jumpseat; masks deploy and oxygen begins automatically when pulled into place and positioned over the nose and mouth.
• C. In the cockpit only; activated by a flight crew member.
• D. In seatback pockets; activated by pulling a tab.

Answer: (B)

Crew oxygen masks are located at each jumpseat, and they deploy automatically when you pull the mask into place and position it over the nose and mouth. This setup gives immediate access for flight attendants and pilots in an emergency and starts oxygen flow without needing to flip a switch. The other options don’t fit because crew masks aren’t stored in overhead bins, aren’t activated by a panel switch, aren’t located only in the cockpit, and aren’t the seatback-pocket type used for passengers (which use a pull tab).
