Which of the following best describes the placement of a Portable Oxygen Bottle on XR aircraft?

• A. It is located in the FWD equipment closet and the last overhead bin
• B. It is located only in the AFT lavatory
• C. It is located only under passenger seats
• D. It is located in the cockpit behind the pilot seat

Answer: (A)

Portable oxygen bottles on XR aircraft are placed in two accessible cabin locations: the forward equipment closet and the last overhead bin. This setup ensures crew members can quickly reach oxygen supplies from both the front and back of the cabin, which is essential in medical or depressurization situations. Storing them in these areas also keeps them out of lavatories and away from under-seat spaces, reducing the risk of obstruction, damage, or contamination and avoiding clutter in passenger areas. Keeping bottles secured but readily portable supports rapid deployment to passengers who need supplemental oxygen, while not impeding access to other important areas or functions in the cockpit.
