High Altitude Landing push button
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2023 6:03 pm
Yesterday I landed for the very first time at an airport (SLLP, La Paz, altitude 13,300 ft or so) that would require the use of the "High Altitude Landing" button. I use a Skalarki overhead but when I pressed the (guarded) button it did not illuminate "ON" and I did not see any other difference (not sure what those might be thought).
I looked at the Skalarki Profiler and the hardware button seems to be programmed correctly. It is the correct button and the JeeHell interface seems to support this feature. So here are my questions:
- Is this feature supported?
- Should the light come on?
- Does it impact anything on the JeeHell FMGS software? The feature that I know of is that it would increase the pressure altitude used to automatically trigger the deployment of the oxygen masks in the cabin but I don't know if it appears on ECAM messages or influence the pressurization system)
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
