That is to say that if you take off from sea level and climb
to 10,000', the cabin altitude will steadily climb, at a rate
set by the cabin pressure controller, toward 8,000'. If you
were to level off at 5,000' and stay there long enough for
the cabin pressure to catch up, it will maintain 5,000'
until the aircraft begins to climb again,


This is not true on Boeing aircraft. In flight, the pressure
controller maintains a "proportional" pressure differential between
aircraft and cabin altitude.

If the aircraft levels off at an intermediate altitude, the cabin will
not continue to climb but will level off also - it will not "catch up"
to the aircraft (actual) altitude.

(This only refers to Boeing aircraft and the DC-9. YMMV.)

Just how does the psia in the cabin track the psia "ambient."


This information is fed to the pressure controller by the Air Data
Computer (ADC) on older aircraft and by the Air Data Inertial
Reference Unit (ADIRU) on newer aircraft.

The DC-9 is a Boeing aircraft these days (danged mergers and
acquisitions).

I figured someone would jump on that... I will *never* be able to
call the -9 a Boeing!
