SLLP Performance Ops Setup

[Bandselect 11]

Before I dig through the manual, could one of you knowledgeable Captain's tell me what section to look at in the manual to setup my 747 for departure from SLLP?

 

High altitude (going out empty), but there is a cabin pressurization adjustment I need to make since El Alto is around 13.3K in altitude... Thanks.

Not supported. You won't find 744 flying out of there for real.

 

Maximum altitude for takeoff/landing is 10000 ft.

 

The above notwithstanding, set the cabin altitude control to MANUAL, and open the outflow valves to depressurize the cabin to atmospheric. You will get a cabin altitude warning.

 

Best regards,

Rob Smith.

Hey Rob,

 

Ever been to El Alto?

Rob - thanks. I'll check that and the overall performance envelope in the manual.

 

Oh - stranded in Bolivia!
