I felt the cabin vent valve was set lower than I had thought it was going to be . I thought it was supposed to be set up around 5.7. I'd like to know if it was cha.l'lged in tentionally. The manual vent valve worked fine. When we wanted to vent the cabin, it vented. The cabin repressurization valve worked fine . I was very happy to see how well it worked also with my chest pack. Any comment on that? No, I don ' t think so . I don't think the cabin repressurized or overpressurized when we were trying to vent it. Since you were repres surizing it and venting it at the same time, I think the vent valve actually overcame the repressurization,which is a good thing if you're trying to vent it, and it is not a good thing if you're trying to keep it from venting. Going back a little farther to my other state ment, in case that vent valve sticks open
