I would appreciate it if a couple of IVP drivers could provide me with the profile of cabin altitude during climb vs actual altitude. 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.
