Pressurisation Panel

Featured Replies

Hi guys,Just a quick question about the cabin climb/landing altitude selector on the overhead panel. Would setting a landing altitude way out from the actual airport altitude register a pressure difference on the pressure gauge after landing? And if so, can this be rectified by setting the pressurisation system to manual and opening/closing the outflow valve to equalise the cabin?Sincerely,

When aircraft lands the pressure will be automatically re-equalized, also if set correctly you will register something like 180ft of cabin altitude less than the selected altiitude, this to pressurize the plane at the touch down, then pressure will be equalized (outflow valve will fully open).On take off is almost the same.If you find to late that the altitude is set incorrectly you can use the manual mode by just selecting it and not touching the outflow valve selectors. This will mantain the rate already present during your descent and will continue on ground. But remember that te aircraft is not supposed to land with a negative pressure inside it. There will be more stress on the structure.
