5.4 - Cabin pressurization envelope
● NOTE ●
The cabin pressurization envelope below characterizes the cabin altitude that
could be sustained by the fuselage at different flight levels. The curve shows
the minimum cabin altitude as a function of flight level, corresponding to the
maximum differential pressure. The maximum differential pressure is limited by
the pressurization system protection function.
