So you're departing BCN, and about 2,000 feet, you have a right pack trip. A couple of resets are attempted, checklists are run and it looks like you'll only have one air conditioning pack operating for the trip.
And you're doing an Atlantic crossing.
Thoughts? Perspectives? Considerations? |
Is there an altitude restriction for single pack? Gotta think about that, change in fuel burn, winds, etc. That and something in the back of my head makes me not like the idea of operating single pack. Especially if I was going over the pond. Lose the other one and that's a long flight at low altitude (even more fuel burn to the divert).
