RE: [Aus-soaring] Cabin Altitude

[Robinson, Peter B]

I have found the same as Grant, using my avotec altimeter watch, with the cabin pressure normally around 7,000 to 8,000ft on internal flights. And yes my avotec always reads the same as my gliders altimeter.   Any 737 or 747 pilots out there who can confirm what the cabin's pressurised at?   Peter Robinson From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Stephenson Sent: Saturday, 20 August 2005 12:59 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

I've heard some airlines have deliberately let the cabin altitude get high to "help the passengers sleep"!!!
