From an operational perspective, the key variable is whether decompression is explosive (structural failure) or progressive (seal/valve failure). The procedural response diverges significantly between those two scenarios - especially the emergency descent rate and the cabin altitude awareness timing.
Has anyone seen updated guidance from EASA or FAA on the minimum equipment list entries tied to outflow valve monitoring since the 2022 revisions? Would be useful context for this discussion.
