Pressure altitude is an aircraft's height above the theoretical standard datum plane, reflecting the altimeter reading when set to a standard barometric pressure of 29.92 inHg. This altitude is ...
French investigators are highlighting the importance of validating altimeter pressure settings, after a Hop Bombardier CRJ1000 descended below the glidepath on approach to Nantes. The aircraft (F-HMLD ...
Barometric altimeters are most common, and measure altitude above sea level using atmospheric pressure. Modern commercial ...
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Khalid, I'm not sure I entirely follow the question as written, but an aircraft sitting on the ground at an airport with field elevation 2000 feet above mean sea level will have a ...
French investigation authority BEA believes the prevalence of ILS approaches has obscured an underlying vulnerability of aircraft to the risk of terrain collision arising from incorrect altimeter ...
