Welcome to AFF - took a while for your first postAs someone catching an Embraer from MEL to TSV and back this week... yay? :|
Just because they’re descending rapidly doesn’t necessarily equate to depressurisation. As a general rule, I’d look for a level off at 10,000’ for a depressurisation. And, I certainly don’t see much reason to be tootling along at 7,000’, down amongst the light aircraft brigade.Some sort of issue on QF1871 TSV-BNE
The descent indicates it could be pressurisation.
True. Hence "could be".Just because they’re descending rapidly doesn’t necessarily equate to depressurisation.
What operational reasons might there be for going to 7,000' for a pressurisation issue?I certainly don’t see much reason to be tootling along at 7,000’, down amongst the light aircraft brigade.

The quotation marks are probably appropriate. Most of the spokespeople struggle to understand that the company operates aircraft.But in this case it was, as confirmed by "a Qantas spokeswoman".
None really. They had a huge rate of descent, and I think they simply overshot the level off.What operational reasons might there be for going to 7,000' for a pressurisation issue?
Thanks! Yeah I definitely lurked for a while. Time to be more active!Welcome to AFF - took a while for your first post
