(above 10,000 feet altitude to minimize vapor formation)

Cabin Altitude Control...SET

(after cabin pressure has stabilized). Reset cabin altitude control to
destination pattern altitude plus 500 feet (inner scale) or cruise altitude
plus 500 feet (outer scale) whichever gives the highest cabin altitude

Cabin Rate Control...SET

to reach selected cabin altitude at approximately the same time that the
aircraft reaches cruise altitude

for smooth operation with gradual enrichment as altitude is lost.

During the initial portion of the letdown, set the cabin altitude control to
pattern altitude plus 500 feet (inner scale)

Cabin Rate Control..SET

to reach selected cabin altitude (zero cabin pressure) at approximately the
same time as the aircraft reaches pattern altitude plus 500 feet
