Title: JIA5278 Cabin Pressurization Problem
Post by: RonR on January 05, 2024, 02:32:42 PM
On December 31, JIA5278 had just departed Washington's National Airport (KDCA) and was climbing through FL260 when the crew encountered a cabin pressurization issue.  They stopped their climb and immediately started a descent to 10000 feet.  They decided to divert to Lynchburg (KLYH).  They declared an emergency, ran through checklists, asked for delaying vectors to burn off fuel and landed a short time later safely on runway 22.
