A question for someone with airbus technical knowledge
It appears that the event happened as the aircraft approached TOC. Would the cabin altitude still have been increasing at that time?
Since they didn't reach level flight from what I've seen so far, yes, I would expect the cabin altitude would still be climbing at a rate normally less than 500 feet per minute. I'm rated on a couple of the larger Airbuses but not the 320 series.
The cabin pressure would be at the highest level (attained during the flight) since the aircraft just reached cruising altitude when the "event" happened.
Huh? Seems like typical cabin altitude in cruise is around 5,000 to 7000 feet at cruise in most airliners I've flown. That is a lower cabin pressure than at sea level in Sharm, right?
Don't you mean to say that cabin
differential is highest at level off?
