MISCELLANEOUS SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers the oxygen system and squat switch (weight-on-wheels sensing) sys-
tems on the Citation Mustang. Oxygen is available to the crew and passengers during
pressurization system malfunctions or when required. One squat switch on each land-
ing gear indicates when weight is on the wheel. The squat switches provide signals to
various aircraft systems.

insufficient oxygen is available. If oxygen sup-
ply is shut off or if pressure in the system is too
low, an amber OXYGEN OFF message appears.

Individual controls on crew masks adjust their

oxygen flow.

COMPONENTS
The system includes:
• Oxygen bottle (with integral shutoff
valve and pressure regulator)
• Oxygen masks (crew and passenger)
• Oxygen control valve

To qualify as a quick-donning mask, the crew

oxygen mask must be properly stowed in the
receptacle behind, above, and outboard of
each crewmember on the forward cabin di-
vider, and must be set to 100%.

NOTE
Headsets, eyeglasses, or hats worn by
the crew will interfere with the
quick-donning capability of the oxy-
gen masks.

plugs into the large valve port, and the mask
microphone plugs into the MIC jack, both of
which are under the OXYGEN MASK sec-
tion of the console. Ensure both plugs are fully
inserted before flight.

If the aircraft is to be parked outside and the

temperature is colder than 0°C, the masks must
be removed from the aircraft and kept warm.

Passenger Oxygen Masks

In the cabin, passenger masks are in overhead
containers and drop automatically or manually

A short lanyard physically connects the mask
to a pin in a valve inside the overhead oxy-
