Operate the pressurization system, if equipment is installed.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Operate the pressurization system, if equipment is installed.

Bottom line

Particular attention should be given to the aircraft’s fuselage, windshields, window panels, and canopies to identify any cracks or damage that could rupture under the stress of cabin pressurization. Throughout the entire climb and cruise above 25,000 ft MSL, emphasis should be given to monitoring cabin pressurization. Careful monitoring of pressurization levels is essential during the descent to avoid the onset of hypoxia from a slow decompression.
