Differential Pressure

Differential pressure refers to the difference between cabin pressure and atmospheric pressure. This measurement is crucial for aircraft safety and performance. The differential pressure is managed by a control system to ensure it stays within the safe limits set for the aircraft’s design. To monitor this, a differential pressure gauge is typically used. This gauge is often paired with a cabin altimeter that indicates the cabin altitude. Together, these instruments help pilots maintain optimal conditions during flight.
