Landing-field elevation

Pressurisation controls
Pressurisation controls [98]

The pressurisation controller needs to know where the flight is going. The landing-field elevation on EICAS is therefore worth checking whenever the destination changes.

FMS destination

Confirm the active FMS destination is the one you intend to use. If the route is incomplete, a sensible landing elevation cannot be assumed.

Find LFE

Read the landing-field elevation on EICAS and compare it with the destination information in your plan or chart. FSS describes a green FMS-derived value and a cyan M for a manual value.

Default LFE

FSS says that without a destination in the FMS, the landing field elevation defaults to zero until manually set.

Manual LFE

Set the pressurisation MODE selector to LFE CTRL. Move the LFE selector towards UP or DOWN to change the value in 100 ft increments. Compare the displayed setting with the destination elevation. A cyan M identifies manual LFE; cabin pressure control remains automatic.

Cabin indications

During climb and descent, compare cabin altitude, rate and system indications with the flight phase. Investigate alerts rather than assuming the selected landing elevation proves everything is correct.

After a diversion

Recheck the destination and LFE against the new airport. A cyan M indicates a manually selected elevation. FSS describes LAND FIELD ELEV when the entered elevation differs from the FMS destination; do not assume a new destination has replaced a manual value.

The landing-field elevation indication is described on the FSS EICAS cabin altitude and LFE page [103].

FSS describes amber dashes in the LFE field for invalid or out-of-range information, or when manual cabin-pressure control is active. Check the pressurisation mode and the rest of the indications.

LFE CTRL and MAN do different jobs. In LFE CTRL, you set the landing-field elevation while cabin pressure control stays automatic. In MAN, the CABIN ALT selector controls the outflow valve; FSS says automatic depressurisation after landing is then unavailable. FSS pressurisation panel [104].

The FSS DUMP description on the same page is internally unclear. Do not infer a normal-flow action from that wording. [104] [102]
