Decompression (lowering of air pressure in the aircraft passenger cabin)

• Pull the mask to activate oxygen flow until the oxygen supply tube is stretched;
• Put the oxygen mask over the nose and mouth and breath calmly;
• Fix the elastic band of the mask as necessary;

• Check, if the safety seat belt is fastened;
• Wait for further instructions from the aircraft crew.
