-1000 PA restrictions
 

TO and LDG operations are generally prohibited when PA is below -1000 feet.
Does anybody figure out the reason?

Thanks,

During certification they couldn`t find a hole deep enough.

Maybe....

Kollsman window can be selected up to 31 inches or 1050 hpa, so in this such a high pressure enviroment PA would be -1.000 when airfield elevation is 80 feet or below.
TO and LDG charts don´t show PA below -1.000. Is this really a limitation? or just manufactures do not perform flight test certification in these conditions.
There are few airfields in California below SL (e.g. Furnace Creek apt -210´) not to mention Bar Yehuda Masada in Israel where elevation is -1266´,in this aerodrome PA is below -1000 if QNH is above 1004 hpa.
Anyone has ever To/Ldg in these areas?

Any answer will be appreciated....

It has been a long time since I heard an altimeter called a "Kollsman" - brings back memories of flying into Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
