This guide will help you comprehend the importance of maintaining optimal cabin pressure, ensuring a safe and comfortable flight experience. ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) plays a vital role in displaying cabin pressure warnings. When a pressurization warning occurs, it indicates a potential issue with the outflow valve or other pressurization components. Flight crew must respond […]

Understanding A320 Pressurization Modes: Manual vs Automatic System & How Does the Control Work

The A320 pressurization system is a critical component that ensures a safe and comfortable cabin environment for passengers and crew. This advanced system operates in two primary modes: manual and automatic. In automatic mode, the system schedules and commands the outflow valve using FMGS and flight-phase inputs (not altitude alone), allowing for optimal cabin pressure […]
