I am just = getting to the pressurization checkout for my recently completed piston = IVP and am chasing leaks. My cabin climbs to about 8,100 at 10,000 and = then holds that up to about 17,000 and then starts climbing again which = I believe means the I still have excessive leakage. The punchline number = I am looking for is the cabin altitude at FL 240. Lancair could not = easily supply this data so I would appreciate an assist from the list. Another subject..I note recent comments on getting final inspection from = the FAA compared to a DAR. The FAA FSDO at Willow Run Michigan did my = inspection with about a week of lead time. The inspector did a detail = job and offered several constructive suggestions and a few necessary and = correct punch list items. He signed it off on the second visit and came = at the committed times in both cases. It was clear to me that he was one = of the few FAA guys who could actually do a credible job on a complex = airplane but I believe the capability still exists at many of the = FSDO's. Jack Morgan=
