Abstract: A method of calibrating an outflow valve on an aircraft may include determining if the aircraft has reached a predetermined cruise condition. The outflow valve may be moved until a closed position is reached, if the aircraft has reached the predetermined cruise condition. An actual position feedback value of the outflow valve may be determined while the aircraft is in the predetermined cruise condition. An offset calibration factor may be determined from the actual position feedback value of the outflow valve relative to a theoretical value.

Abstract: An aircraft cabin pressure control system implements control logic that significantly reduces potentially uncomfortable pressure bumps that can occur during aircraft take-off rotation both with and without cabin pressuring fluid flowing into the aircraft cabin. The control logic implemented by the cabin pressure control system, among other things, determines whether the cabin pressurizing fluid is flowing into the aircraft cabin. If the cabin pressurizing fluid is flowing into the aircraft cabin, aircraft cabin altitude is controlled to at least a first predetermined minimum altitude value below the take-off altitude. If the cabin pressurizing fluid is not flowing into the aircraft cabin, aircraft cabin altitude is controlled to at least a second predetermined minimum altitude value above the take-off altitude.
