Is it possible to de-rate a pressurized aircraft?
I've read plenty about the benefits and costs of pressurized cabins. I'd love to cruise 10k with nary the pop of an ear (truly--I have terrible issues with my ears and pressure changes), but the costs of a P-model are just beyond the budget for my mission. But if I could take the quiet and weather resistance of the P, and lose the maintenance and insurance costs, it would seem ideal. Nice thing is, it is not unreversible, unlike, for example, welding up gear for similar objectives.
