in the landing configuration
3105. If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the
pilot adjust the altimeter? - Answers -The elevation of the departure area.
3106. Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting? -
Answers -The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport
elevation.
