I noted:
Actually, it depends on the aircraft...

Explanation of pressurization certification, that some may find

i stated "normally at 8,000ft", of course there are variations in
type, SOP and so on. i really didnt want to spend hours typing out a
list types and representative pressurization variations or a list of
SOP's for various operators of various types as either way it is going
to depend on what is set on the selector. say 8,000ft and someone will
say "we fly at 7,500".

the answer is in the FAR's.


Whoa big fella, cool your jets there.

the answer is in the FAR's.

Indeed it is. If someone offering further information for the benefit of
others in the NG was going to get your gander up so high, you could have
said something like "FAR's state that transport category aircraft must
maintain a cabin altitude below 8,000 ft."
