I found it quite helpful and informative as I figure out the pressurization system. From my limited testing so far (flying at 10-12k), I've noticed that the pressurization isn't linear. At 10k my cabin altitude (according to the indicator) is 5k and the PSI is perhaps 2 or 2.5 differential... since the POH suggests a 8000' cabin at FL220... I am surprised that I can climb an additional 12k and have the cabin altitude only rise an additional 3k. I was flying at 31" / 2500. How do you check for leaks on the ground? thanks, Dico --bcaec52e5fabe3193604acc615fa Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Brent,
