It depends Genghis.

If you did your pressurisation on a fancy commercial where basically you stick in your landing altitude and it sorts the rest out I would say thats correct.

But if you learn't your trade on an old heap which has a manual differential setup with variable cabin climb rates and variable flows its slightly different. Every system is different and although learning what knobs do what takes a few mins. Its more the fact that you have it in your work cycle to constantly monitor the sod that has any effect on the safety of using it. You can laugh but even in my TP I work on a 10 min cycle and its.

Top panel for the electrics, down through the engine instruments, across to check the nav boxes and then down to the hydraulics and then the pressurisation. I have lost count how many times I have picked up stuff doing this, usually a good time before it will fire off the CAP panel.
