falxori 0 #1 October 19, 2003 following an incident where i had to check in my rig for a flight (damn french police woman, story will follow)... if my alti spends the flight in an unpressurized cabin, can it break ? i mean, if it will go all the way up to 50,000 ft and back, will it stay accurate? i dont know what its allowed operational height interval.. thanks O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

sundevil777 102 #2 October 19, 2003 What plane do you think had an unpressurized cargo area? All modern commercial jets have a pressurized cargo area.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
