BAC 1-11 Warning question

[Elliott]

Dear all,
i am under training with the BAC 1-11 and i have a problem.

I follow the steps from here:
http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/flying_the_1-11_1.htm

but after passing FL100 upon climb i get a warning light will a horn (beep-beep, continues).
I guess it has to do with pressurisation.

Can you please help to find out what am i doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Elliot and welcome

It depends on how you set the pressurisation up but an easy way to stop the alarm is to click on the lamp.. this will cancel the buzzer. Scary isn't it.. it always makes my heart jump if I forget it's going to happen

Hi Elliot

Switch the Safety Valve to CLOSED (or NORMAL on the 510ED) before you take off.
The switch is next to the pressure gauge (overhead on the 510ED).
With Safety Valve closed (and RAM AIR closed) and the required cabin altitude selected, all should be ok.

The safety valve regulates the air pressure inside and it opens automatically to release any excess pressure.
If it's set open by the switch, pressure gets released and the cabin altitude equalises to the real altitude outside.
It beeps if the cabin altitude is above 10,000ft.

Ok,

thank you for both answers. I go for another Training flight to check.
