📐 1001mb or 1011 mb? Airbus A320 inbound to Paris narrowly escaped colliding with terrain just 6ft above the ground while still 0.8nm from runway 27R, after an incorrect pressure setting given to the pilots went undetected. An ATC, some 10min beforehand, had instructed the A320 crew to descend to 6,000ft with a QNH altimeter pressure setting of 1011mb rather than the valid figure of 1001mb. The crew of the A320, operated for Maltese company Airhub, read back this incorrect figure of 1011mb before being given a further descent instruction – again with the wrong pressure setting – and being cleared for an RNP approach to 27R. With the QNH level wrongly set, the Airhub A320 displayed the apparent correct altitude to the crew but followed a descent profile which was actually 280ft too low. The crew executed a go-around because they could not see the runway after the jet had descended to the apparent decision altitude. The aircraft landed without further incident; none of the 178 occupants were injured.
