Cause of the Occurrence

Cabin Pressure Controller No 2 (CPC #2) failed to regulate the cabin pressure at the desired value and failed to automatically switch over the system to CPC #1. However, Cockpit Crew’s delayed recognition of the situation as well as wrong actions aggravated the situation till automatic dropping of Oxygen masks (as designed).
