Which scenario would most likely require the use of a POB?

The scenario that would most likely require the use of a Portable Oxygen Bottle (POB) is a medical emergency on board. In cases where a passenger or crew member experiences a medical issue, especially one that affects their ability to breathe, such as a respiratory distress or other oxygen-related ailments, having supplemental oxygen available can be crucial. The POB provides immediate access to oxygen for those who need it, helping to stabilize their condition until more formal medical help can be arranged.

In contrast, while the other scenarios might also involve oxygen needs under certain conditions, they do not inherently require the immediate administration of supplemental oxygen like a medical emergency does. For example, in a malfunction of the aircraft, cabin pressure loss may require attention, but the context around oxygen administration will depend more on specific circumstances regarding cabin altitude. Emergency evacuations would typically focus on guiding passengers safely out of the aircraft rather than addressing oxygen needs directly, although oxygen may be necessary in certain conditions of comprehensive incidents. Severe turbulence usually does not require oxygen unless it leads to a specific crisis situation that compromises breathing.
