In Figure 3 - Altimeter 1 indicates - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10,500 ft
In figure 3 - Altimeter 2 indicates - - CORRECT ANSWER - 14,500 ft

What is true altitude? - CORRECT ANSWER - The actual measured vertical distance
(height) above mean sea level.
What is absolute altitude? - CORRECT ANSWER - The vertical distance above the
surface. It can be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation from true altitude
, What is pressure altitude - CORRECT ANSWER - The altitude indicated when the
barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92
Altimeter setting is the value to the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set the altimeter
indicates - - CORRECT ANSWER - true altitude at field elevation
Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude> - CORRECT
ANSWER - when at sea level under standard conditions
If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 19.85 what change occurs? - CORRECT
ANSWER - 700-foot increase in indicated altitude
If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in
indication? - CORRECT ANSWER - Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower
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 - CORRECT ANSWER - 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 - CORRECT ANSWER -
higher than the actual altitude above sea level
how do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - CORRECT ANSWER - Pressure
levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude? - CORRECT
ANSWER - in colder than standard air temperature
Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Air temperature warmer than standard
