ALT & AS

Question 1

How should you preflight check the accuracy of your altimeter prior to an IFR flight?

Answer 1

Set the current altimeter setting and the indication should be within 75 feet of the airport elevation.

PreFLT ALT: Set 75

Question 2

Your altimeter is set to 30.47. You are currently flying at 6,500 feet MSL, and the current reported altimeter setting is 29.87” Hg. What is your actual altitude?

Answer 2

Lower than indicated.

ALT 30 = Lower

Question 3

Your altimeter is set to 30.42. The correct altimeter setting at your current altitude of 6,500 MSL is 29.82. You are

Answer 3

below the indicated altitude.

ALT 30 = Below

Question 4

If the outside air temperature increases during a flight at constant power and at a constant indicated altitude, the true airspeed will

Answer 4

increase and the true altitude will increase.
