correct setting of pressure controller
After reading the first post, most of the following posts seems to be a complete off the target...
... so I'm not getting into QFE vs QNH ops discussions in a QFE environment...
As the answer to the question is maybe type-specific, the easy way to check the correct setting of the pressure controller is as follows:
- after landing (when normally all outflow valves have opened), the cabin altimeter shows a certain value.
- if this value is zero, (like the main altimeters when set to QFE) then the pressure controller should have been set to zero.
- if that value shows approx. the elevation in ft, the pressure controller should have been set to elevation.
While it does not really help on the first landing, it helps at least for all the following flights on that type.
Nice flights
