If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is
the approximate change in indication?
A) Altimeter will indicate .15"Hg higher.
B) Altimeter will indicate 150 feet higher.
C) Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower - ANSWER-C) Altimeter
will indicate 150 feet lower
Atmospheric pressure decreases approximately 1" of Hg
(Mercury) for every 1,000 feet of altitude gained. As an altimeter
setting is changed, the change in altitude indication changes the
same way (i.e., approximately 1,000 feet for every 1" change in
altimeter setting) and in the same direction (i.e., lowers the
altitude reading). Thus, changing from 30.11 to 29.96 is a
decrease of .15 in., or 150 feet (.15 x 1,000 feet) lower.

If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into and area of
high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the
altimeter will indicate
A) the actual altitude above seal level.
B) higher than the actual altitude above sea level.
C) lower than the actual altitude above sea level. - ANSWER-C)
lower than the actual altitude above sea level.
When an altimeter setting is at a lower value than the correct
setting, the altimeter is indicating less than I should and thus
would be showing 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
A) Lower than the actual altitude above sea level.
B) higher than the actual altitude above sea level.

C) the actual altitude above sea level. - ANSWER-B) higher than
the actual altitude above sea level.
When flying from Higher pressure to lower pressure without
adjusting your altimeter, the altimeter will indicate a higher than
actual altitude, as you adjust an altimeter barometric setting lower,
the altimeter indicates lower.
Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower
altitude than true altitude?
A) Air temperature lower than standard.
B) Atmospheric pressure lower than standard.
C) Air temperature warmer than standard - ANSWER-C) Air
temperature warmer than standard
In air that is warmer than standard temperature, the airplane will
be higher than the altimeter indicates. Said another way, the
altimeter will indicate a lower altitude than actually flown.

Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated
altitude?
A) In colder than standard air temperature.
B) In warmer than standard air temperature
C) When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude. -
ANSWER-A) In colder than standard air temperature.
The airplane will be lower than the altimeter indicates when flying
in air that is colder than standard temperature. Remember that
altimeter readings are adjusted for changes in barometric
pressure but not for changes in temperature. When one flies from
warmer to colder air and keeps a constant indicated altitude at a
constant altimeter setting, the plane has actually descended.
How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter?
A) Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated
altitude is lower than true altitude.
