F100 pressurisation
 
Is the landing (Alt)selector on the pressurisation system calibrated to 1013 or QNH from the altimeter setting panel?

The pressurization controller receives input from several sources, two of which are the Air Data Computer ( altitude and barometric information) and the Landing Altitude selector (landing elevation).

For operation, the flight crew only sets the departure elevation prior to takeoff (in case of emergency return) and then landing elevation at top of descent, the rest is automatic.

Thanks fokkerjet
Now I can tell the one guy that insists on cor. to 1013

Sorry to be pedantic but a F100 is much nicer than a fokkerjet, even if it only has one seat

Who would buy a Ford pickup truck with only one seat?? :)
