High Altitude Ops: ECAM Pressure Warning?

[Louis Vallance]

Hi Everyone,

I was messing around at La Paz with a high altutude departure to get a feel for the A/C performance. I notced that the excess cabin altitude ECAM warning sounds shortly after takeoff. I know that this is normal at such cabin altitudes, but I thought this warning might be suppressed (or perhaps delayed) in the event that the High Alt Landing button is pressed.

Below is a video of my experience. The takeoff roll begins at the 04:24 mark.

My simple question: Is this stuation normal? If not, is there anything I might've done wrong?

Cheers,

Louis

Have you considered looking into fcom? Or at least searching forum?

Hi Mateusz,

Thanks for the answer.

I should have clarified in my first post: I have already searched the forum and I already studied the post that you linked (following the engine start and takeoff SOP suggested by Bruno).

According to Feras Alloush, who posted in the aforementioned forum post: "... airbus sop does not have special section for high apt apts"; I wouldn’t know about the FCOM.

I also searched the Normal Procedures document that comes with the FSLabs installation, and I did not find anything pertinent.

Cheers,

Louis

Why you put GEN 1 and 2 OFF before start engine?

 

Edit: HYD OFF before start?? Really!? Before you doing High-Alt ops you should restart from thebasic.

I was following the SOP shared by the user B_r_u_n_o-R_o_l_o in this thread.

This comment is in poor spirit, but I'll humour you anyway. I can't remember why I switched them off (I never touch those switches during normal operations). I was either getting Bruno's SOP mixed up, or I was just messing around because, you know, it's a simulator?

Cheers,

Louis
