Problema di pressurizzazione con tanto di discesa rapida e un'ora di volo per rrientrare in aereoporto a 1500 m di altezza.... Non male

[ganjjialf]

mitici ma come è successo?

[thepres976]

Volo tra Newark e Miami, dopo un'ora dal decollo

il comandante annuncia che abbiamo un problema di pressurizzazione, e ci dobbiamo preparare ad una discesa rapida. Rientrati a Newark ad un'altezza di 1000 metri circa. il comandante e controllori di volo quel giorno si sono guadagnati lo stipendio

Can anyone who was on this flight say how this decompression happen?

Where was the aircraft bound for?

[thepres976]

hi :-)

sorry for the delay..

We're travelling from Newark to Miami on 1st September 2008 by Continental.

There was a malfunction on the pressurazation system... The captain was absolutelly very good and the cabin crew too.

Nobody was in a panic, and so on... We're flying back to Italy (because we're italian) and just landed the Continental Assistance stuck us on another fly bound for Milan.

@MyFudginBrother Yellow squid hahha

@ThomsonAirwaysStaff Generators? Airliners use cans that burn specific elements that "produces" oxygen as the "waste." There is no extra work from them and once they start there is no stopping them. They go through their complete cycle. It's also not really a system per say. There is a can for every 1-2 pax. I think your information might be limited to a select few aircrafts.

Also, I wounder how you can tell they don't need it. They look like they have hypoxia and need oxygen. JW

LOLLLLLLLL

in the end he says : " we hope we may tell this"

[gp4nut]

Looks like they are getting the euphoria from hypoxia! And notice the dude in front doesn't even bother with his mask! What is the bag on the mask for anyway, I've often wondered that.

@youngestpilotinGa lol i said that like a year ago, funny how I dont even remember commenting this :)

[youngestpilotinGa]

@flyboy83297 nope its called hypoxia cause: not keeping your mask on

[ThomsonAirwaysStaff]

@bryanb16th They don't use O2 Canisters, they use generators that practically recycle oxygen. It's easier, cleaner and the system lasts for twelve mins, which is the time it should take to decend to a safe altitude

[ThomsonAirwaysStaff]

If I was their Cabin Crew, I'd pass around the cabin and switch off the oxygen system. It's obivous that they no longer need it. It's just more work for the generator!

@MyFudginBrother That because oxygen mask gives you pure oxygen so that why they looks so happy.
