Flying..

Oh sure, could you tell me where the seatbelt sign is in a 747-400 before I contact you? - Also a very detailed report of how to work the pressurisation system.

Hi, thank you for your interest in air crafts. I can give you a short report on the pressurization system.

Cabin pressurization is the active pumping of air into an aircraft cabin to increase the air pressure within the cabin. It is required when an aircraft reaches high altitudes, because the natural atmospheric pressure is too low to allow people to absorb sufficient oxygen, leading to altitude sickness and ultimately hypoxia. Most turboprop aircraft also feature cabin pressurization due to their medium to high altitude operation. A very few piston-engined small private planes also do so; most do not routinely fly high enough to justify such a system.

Also in reply to your first question - I do not see any reason why a young enthusiastic pilot like you does not know that.

That only explains what it does, now how to do it

I actually wanted to know how to use the pressure system in a 747-400, what do you do.

I do know the answer however you do not, sorry.

Youl have to wait a few hours, hes desperately searching google.

Thats exactly what I thought! +rep

I doubt google will come up with anything on using the pressure system anyway, I still haven't got my head around it

[Yoshimitsui]

lol, i thought it was done automaticly most of the time anyway, as theres two modes??

Most of the time, it's just the setting up of it which gets me.. I think its a few flicks of switches, but then again I'm not too sure.

The 738 is literally 4 switches and it's sorted for the whole flight, but the 744's seems a hell of alot more complicated.

Ah okay, i can't say it's someting i have botherd to think about

[Samishlol]

LOL Danny is getting told .

I like to know all the geeky stuff!
