CPC System behavior in case of erroneous QNH value entry 2.1 EFFECT ON MANUAL * FCOM © Update of the FCOM SOP DESCENT PREPARATION 2.2 SUMMARY OF THE MODIFICATION The current CPC system logic on A320 only uses the barometric pressure at mean sea level as a reference (QNH) to control cabin pressurization during descent. Therefore, it is only possible to insert a QNH value in the MCDU PERF APPR page, either in In/Hg or hPa. If the destination aerodrome uses the field elevation as a barometric reference (QFE), the flight crew has to convert the provided QFE value to QNH. This QNH value has to be inserted on the MCDU PERF APPR page during descent preparation at the latest. Therefore, following in-service events, a CAUTION has been added in the FCOM DESCENT PREPARATION section. This is to remind the flight crew of the need to convert a QFE value into a QNH value before inserting it in the MCDU PERF APPR page. Note: If there is no DEST QNH value entered in the MCDU PERF APPR page, the CPC System will consider the barometric value set on the FCU. However, even if the value is set as a QFE, the CPC will consider it as a QNH value.AIRBUS A320 FAMILY ———_—_—————— ee Main FCOM/QRH/FCTM Changes 3.
