Narrative:

After takeoff from mia, aircraft pressurization was abnormal as a result of the aft outflow valve being stuck in the fully open position. We leveled with departure control's permission at 10000 ft. Did some troubleshooting and then spoke to mia maintenance for suggestions. We were requested to return to mia. Flight attendants were advised and a PA was made in preparation for the return. We requested a return, were given runway 27R, but requested the longer runway 27L and asked for crash fire rescue equipment vehicles to be standing by. Ran the checklists, checked the charts for any runway or go around limits, and proceeded with the approach to runway 27L. All went well with the approach resulting in a normal landing in the touchdown zone at a vertical speed of approximately 200 FPM. Supplemental information from acn 447775: after takeoff from mia, received advisory from ECAM indicating aft outflow valve full open. Unable to control cabin, leveled off at 10000 ft. Advised ATC, ran loss of cabin procedure. Could not control in automatic or manual. Contacted mia maintenance. They suggested check circuit breakers. They were ok, then suggested return to mia and land. Advised ATC, reviewed overweight landing. Requested crash fire rescue equipment. Advised flight attendants, ran all checklists and landed. Normal touchdown. Mia maintenance inspected and found aft outflow valve screen damaged. Probably from security/customs inspection.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 447775: AFTER TKOF FROM MIA, RECEIVED ADVISORY FROM ECAM INDICATING AFT OUTFLOW VALVE FULL OPEN. UNABLE TO CTL CABIN, LEVELED OFF AT 10000 FT. ADVISED ATC, RAN LOSS OF CABIN PROC. COULD NOT CTL IN AUTO OR MANUAL. CONTACTED MIA MAINT. THEY SUGGESTED CHK CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THEY WERE OK, THEN SUGGESTED RETURN TO MIA AND LAND. ADVISED ATC, REVIEWED OVERWT LNDG. REQUESTED CFR. ADVISED FLT ATTENDANTS, RAN ALL CHKLISTS AND LANDED. NORMAL TOUCHDOWN. MIA MAINT INSPECTED AND FOUND AFT OUTFLOW VALVE SCREEN DAMAGED.
