## Discrepancy

SMF - AIR TURN BACK - AFTER TAKEOFF CREW REPORTED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO CONTROL CABIN PRESSURE, OUT FLOW VALVE WAS AT THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION AND HAD A VENT SKIN VALVE FAULT THAT WOULD NOT RESET.  CREW RETURNED TO SMF AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER EVENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE SKIN AIR EXTRACT VALVE.  OPEATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
