## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE AT FLIGHT LEVEL 35.0, THE AIRCRAFT CABIN BEGAN TO CLIMB RAPIDLY, MANUAL CONTROL OF PRESSURIZATION WAS ATTEMPTED.  PACK FLOWS WERE INCREASED TO 90  PERCENT CAPACITY WITH MINIMAL DECREASE IN CABIN.  DESCENT INITIATED AND AT LEVEL OFF CABIN COULD BE MAINTAINED AT 5,000 FT.  CREW ACCOMPLISHED COMPANY PROCEDURES FOR PRESSURIZATION LOSS AND ELECTED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AT SLC.
