Abstract: A method for emergency ventilating and pressurizing an aircraft cabin comprises determining a cabin pressure within the aircraft cabin and determining an ambient pressure in an aircraft environment. Descent of the aircraft is initiated when the cabin pressure falls below a predetermined threshold value. A supply of ambient air from the aircraft environment into the aircraft cabin is initiated, when, during descent of the aircraft, a differential pressure between the cabin pressure and the ambient pressure falls below a first calculated threshold value. The supply of ambient air into the aircraft cabin and an operation of an air outflow valve of a cabin pressurization system of the aircraft are controlled such that a flow of ambient air into the aircraft cabin corresponds to at least a predetermined minimum value and the differential pressure between the cabin pressure and the ambient pressure does not fall below a second calculated threshold value.
