The pitot-static system is the source of valuable flight information for the pilot. Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates absolute altitude at field elevation. calibrated altitude at field elevation. true altitude at field elevation.

Corporate pilots who had seen nothing but gray or rain outside the windshield suddenly could see the terrain, obstacles, runways, approaches, their own flightpath ahead, and even traffic in 3D. Yet suddenly, neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night would keep professional pilots on the ground – or divert them into it. million in 2022.
