    Any 777 pilots here? Can the cabin pressure be shut off at the cockpit?

    Actually now that I thought of the basic numbers. Assuming your numbers are correct that the fuel consumption during climb is twice than of cruise. As long as the gradient of climb is steeper than the glide ratio, I am sure we will end up saving fuel.

    Any 777 pilots here? Can the cabin pressure be shut off at the cockpit?

    Thanks for the response. Actually the way I look at it, even if it more economical, it is not feasible as a standard operating procedure because it would take some skill to execute it. It is inherently dangerous, turning off both engines is not recommended, (that's like going downhill in a...

    Could you maybe give me a few numbers for the fuel consumption in cruise mode and fuel consumption while an aircraft is in ascent? Also if you have any numbers for an idle descent, that would be great.

    Any 777 pilots here? Can the cabin pressure be shut off at the cockpit?

    Gliding Okay, so we know when the aircraft left KLA, it had about 8 hours worth of fuel. Now theoretically I was thinking if a pilot wanted to increase the range for a given fuel loading, one scenario came to mind. Which brought up some questions. 1. Can a pilot deliberately switch off all...
