What I have always wondered about is what happens when the destination airport is higher than than the max cabin altitude -- say UIO at 9000 feet. Does the aircraft decompress the cabin on descent so the inside altitude rises up the outside altitude upon landing? I assume so or door opening would be a pretty dramatic event.
