that reason I think that we ought to make an
effort to get the ECS o tank vent and the
2
ECS o tank pressure gage compatible and at
2
a l ot higher pressure than they are. This
'
suiting up and unsuiting every four hours is
for the birds.
I thoroughly agree with you, Jim.
There are
two things I want to know.
I want to know if
they deliberately lowered the venting pressure
for the o2 system down to 967 to solve the
problem on GT-3.
I would also like to know
if they deliberately lowered the cabin venting
down to 5.4. I'd like to know the answer to
those two questions. I think the combination
of those two situations make what I feel is an
unsatisfactory situation in our flight. It
occupied far more time-­
That's right, we were screwing around with
that ECS o . That's something we never had
2
touched. It was a eage that we should have
monitored, instead of a thing that we manipu­
lated all the time.
Right,
Okay, the cabin pressure regulator.
