It stays the same that is why some people's ears 'pop' on the descent

Is plane cabin pressure the same as in the cockpit?
Yes, in that sense, cockpit is part of cabin
What happenes to plane speed when it dives?
The aircraft
Why do your ears pop when your airplane takes off?
As the plane climbs, the pressure drops, even in a pressure cabin. The pop is your ears equalizing from ground pressure to altitude pressure.
Is it better for your ears on a plane if you sit on the aisle seat?
There is no reason to believe that seat selection will impact the effect of cabin pressure on your ears. The planes cabin is pressurized the same through out the entire cabin.
240 people died in the same direction in cabin with windows how did they die?
They were in a plane crash. The cabin is a plane's cabin.
Why do they pressurize a plane during flight?
A plane is pressurized to ensure that a good supply of oxygen is in the cabin. At 32,000-36,000 feet the oxygen levels are low. It also allows the cabin to stay warm. Without pressure you would pass out from hypoxia.
Can a bullet bring down a jet if fired from the inside?
It's unlikely, but possible. A bullet fired through the skin of the plane (through aluminum) will make a small hole, which will cause a pressure leak. The cabin pressure system can compensate for several such leaks. If a bullet is fired through a window, the window might blow out, causing the cabin to lose pressure fairly quickly--the cabin pressure system can't compensate for a hole that big. While that is hazardous to the passengers, it won't bring down the plane. (Although, the pilots will immediately dive to a lower altitude to recover some cabin pressure). A bullet that punctures a fuel tank or fuel line might lead to a fire which would bring down the plane.
Why are you advised to empty ink from your fountain pen before boarding an airplane?
Although a plane is pressurized it is not pressurized completely to ground or takeoff level. As the plane climbs the air pressure in the cabin is decreased with higher altitude. A typical airliner has the equivalent cabin altitude of 5,000 to 8,000 during cruise. The difference in pressure between the cabin air and that inside the ink cartridge of the pen draws out the ink as the pressure inside the pen is more than that outside.
What happend to Helios flight 522?
info sugests that the plane was set to manual airflow after presurization test. this meant that the plane as it climbed higher the cabin pressure got lower eventually the plane ran out of fule and ditched ot of the sky and exploded.
Why cabin altitude is not equal to actual altitude?
Because the cabin inside the plane is pressurized?
How do you stop your ears popping on an airplane?
valsalve. by whoever? well, i think you should suck sweets and swallow alot whilest your on the plane then afterwards, hold your nose and blow through your nose. not really hard just a little so your ears pop, the swallow. repeat this until your ears are clear. by p-bennett by macfanpro: You really can not. In a airplane, the barometric pressure (read: the pressure of the air) changes as the plane climbs and desends. The popping is your ears internal air escaping. How p-bennett's answer works is by inducing popping, equalizing the pressure.
How does flying in an airplane effect hearing?
There is a loss of hearing sometimes, due to pressure differences. In order for a plane to fly as high as it does, the cabin is pressurized, like pumping air into a balloon. There is a difference in the pressure of the air in the plane and the air in your ears. The air in the plane pushes in on your eardrums to the point where they can't vibrate. You hear due to the vibration of your eardrum and the vibration of the tiny bones in your ears. To stop this you need to equalize the air pressure in your ears to match the pressure in the plane. You can do this by swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum.
