- Nota Adicional1
- Should the pressurization system of the aircraft fail for any reason, it will be unable to maintain the required cabin pressure. Likewise, a failure of the aircraft structure or seals would cause a decrease in cabin pressure. This is known as a depressurization or decompression. A depressurization may be slow, rapid or explosive depending on the cause and the pressure differential inside and outside the aircraft.
