An amber “M” appears in the outflow valve depiction on the EICAS Expanded Air Display
You are climbing through FL190. Unknown to you, the cabin altitude has slowly increased above normal range. Will you have any EICAS indications?
Expanded air pressurization system indications should be displayed on the bottom of the upper EICAS display.
The expanded air display has popped up and the altitude under CAB ALT is in amber font. There are no other messages or aural warnings. If you didn’t notice the display, and the cabin altitude continues to increase, what will happen?
Once a cabin altitude exceedance occurs, the red EICAS warning message, CABIN ALTITUDE, annunciates.
After receiving this EICAS message, the red Master Warning Light, and the associated aural warning, you perform the first three QRC items. If cabin altitude is uncontrollable, what would you do?
EICAS “CABIN ALTITUDE”
Deploy the passenger oxygen masks and accomplish emergency descent
