RE: [Aus-soaring] Cabin Altitude

2005-08-21 Thread Robinson, Peter B
I have found the same as Grant, using my avotec altimeter watch, with the cabin pressure normally around 7,000 to 8,000ft on internal flights. And yes my avotec always reads the same as my gliders altimeter. Any 737 or 747 pilots out there who can confirm what the cabin's pressurised at?

2005-08-21 Thread Dave and Cath
The following is a link to a (several megabyte) HUDvideo of a Canadian CT-155 Hawk that had a bird-strike on May 14, 2004. The pilots ejected and the aircraft crashed; unfortunately one pilot was seriously injured. It's extraordinairy footage.
