The present invention provides an air intake valve for an aircraft and a method for the production of an air intake valve. The air intake valve has an opening region for letting ambient air through into a fuselage inner region of the aircraft and a flap for opening and closing the opening region, the opening region and the flap each having a shape which is capable of forming air vortices on edges of the opening region when ambient air flows through the air intake valve.

In a process and a system for controlling the pressure in an aircraft cabin the status of at least one aircraft door is detected by at least one detection device by transmitting a signal indicative of the status of the aircraft door to a unit for controlling an avionics ventilation system which is controlled in dependence upon the signal indicative of the status of the aircraft door in such a way that a build-up of pressure in the aircraft cabin is prevented when the signal indicative of the status of the aircraft door indicates that the aircraft door is not fully closed and secured.

The invention proposes that a camera () takes a technical picture of an air outlet valve () of an aircraft, and the picture taken of the outlet valve () is displayed on a picture display unit (), for example in the cockpit of the aircraft. By shining light onto the outlet valve from a light source (), a clear picture with a high level of contrast is produced. The valve setting of the outlet valve () can thus be monitored visually, in a reliable manner, by the pilot.
