Patrick,
You are quoting Part 135 which is the air transport regs. Part 91 is
private ops and for the oxygen requirements see Sec 91.211
Sec. 91.211 - Supplemental oxygen.
(a) General. No person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry --
(1) At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to and including
14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with
and uses supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight at those altitudes
that is of more than 30 minutes duration;
(2) At cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required
minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen during
the entire flight time at those altitudes; and
(3) At cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) unless each
occupant of the aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.
Thanks for the neat link to the FARs
