Then they got rid of the QRH and its useful charts, including this one. I've suggested to several people that we put that chart back in there, since it is now buried in the volume 1. Not a good place for a chart that should be consulted before every flight. The end result: nobody does the correction anymore. The anti-QRH squad in the training center evidently thinks that crews pull out their volume 1 on every quick turn. Some very enterprising FOs have copied and laminated the chart themselves for quick reference, but it should be more accessible.

Remember that referencing this chart is only mandatory when the pressure is less than standard or less than 29.92". If the pressure is greater than the chart is only optional, e.g. squeezing on that jumpseater the legal way. I have mine tabbed for easy access. Don't let your FO's be that lazy, make em use it.
