2.7 altimeter errors Flashcards
if a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted the altimeter will indicate
lower than the actual altitude above sea level
if a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate
higher than the actual altitude above sea level
which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude
air temperature warmer than standard
under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude
in colder than standard air temperature
how do variations in temperature affect the altimeter
pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
