What is the first action if there is a decompression in the rest area OFAR or OFCR?

• A. Don Oxygen Mask When Safe, Don O2 WA and Leave Crew Rest Area
• B. Stay Seated and Wait for Instructions
• C. Open the Door to Vent Air
• D. Call for Assistance

Answer: (A)

During a decompression, the priority is to secure your own oxygen right away. Putting on your oxygen mask as soon as it’s safe keeps you conscious and able to act. Once the mask is on, ensure the oxygen flow is established and then leave the crew rest area to move to a safer position and to be available to assist others if needed. Staying seated and waiting for instructions delays critical oxygen access and can leave you less capable to respond. Opening the door to vent air would worsen the situation and is not the correct action. Calling for assistance is important, but it comes after you have secured oxygen and begun exiting the rest area.
