Oxygen masks

The FAA announced on 11 August 2008 that they would investigate why "almost half the masks either did not deploy or failed to provide oxygen" during a pan-pan event on American Airlines Flight 31 [Dan Weikel [http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-oxygen12-2008aug12,0,6890661.story FAA reviewing reports of malfunctioning oxygen masks on American flight] , "Los Angeles Times", 12 August 2008] The FAA had recently issued airworthiness directives regarding problems with defective inline flow indicators obstructing the BE Aerospace oxygen masks on several Boeing commercial aircraft models. B/E had identified a repair in February 2006. Boeing then issued a "Special Attention Service Bulletin" to inspect and if necessary repair the masks in April 2007. The directives only require action by April 2013 unless already done.
