Answer 1

the vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface

Question 2

what is true altitude

Answer 2

the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level

Question 3

Answer 3

the pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

Question 4

what is pressure altitude

Answer 4

the altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92
