Cabin Pressure is a radio sitcom written and created by John Finnemore and directed and produced by David Tyler. It follows the exploits of the eccentric crew of the single aeroplane owned by "MJN Air" as they are chartered to take all manner of items, people or animals across the world.
The pressure inside the cabin is technically referred to as the equivalent effective cabin altitude or more commonly as the cabin altitude. This is defined as the equivalent altitude above mean sea level having the same atmospheric pressure according to a standard atmospheric model such as the International Standard Atmosphere. Thus a cabin ...
In the aftermath of the incident aboard an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, we look at what happens when an aircraft experiences a sudden loss of cabin pressure and the risks for those on board.
Cabin doors are designed to prevent losing cabin pressure through them by making it nearly impossible to open them in flight, whether accidentally or intentionally. The plug door design ensures that when the pressure inside the cabin exceeds the pressure outside, the doors are forced shut and will not open until the pressure is equalized. Cabin ...
Most commercial aircraft that operate at high flight altitudes are pressurized at a maximum cabin altitude of approximately 8,000 feet. On most pressurized aircraft, if cabin pressurization is lost when the aircraft is flying at an altitude above 4,267 m (14,000 feet), compartments containing the oxygen masks will open automatically, either above or in front of the passenger and crew seats ...
An American Airlines regional flight had its oxygen masks deploy and made a rapid descent in response to a pressurization issue in the cabin. Loss of cabin pressure caused oxygen masks to deploy ...
A recurring character from the episode "Newcastle" in series 3 onward, Hercules Shipwright (Anthony Head).Herc, as he is known, is a pilot working as a airline captain for Air Caledonia and a long-time acquaintance and one-time colleague at Air England of Douglas, with whom he also sharing his womanising habit and has been divorced four times.
Cabin pressurization is the active pumping of compressed air into the cabin of an aircraft in order to ensure the safety and comfort of the occupants. It becomes necessary whenever the aircraft reaches a certain altitude, since the natural atmospheric pressure would be too low to supply sufficient oxygen to the passengers.
