How to find Pressure Altitude
PA= Actual altimeter setting- standard= ANS. (ANSx1000)- Field Elevation
Pressure Altitude
When 29.92 is set it Kolsman Window
Density Altitude
Pressure Altitude corrected for non standard temperature
Absolue Altitude
Height above the ground (AGL)
True Altitude
Height above sea level (MSL)
Indicated Altitude
Read off Altimeter
