Based upon the altitude indicated by altimeter #3, which course direction is appropriate for this VFR cruising altitude? 3,823 feet MSL the surface 700 feet AGL Correct! Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude? Refer to Figure 82.) 080 magnetic. 180-359 magnetic. 0-179 true.

Before discussing the different types of altitude, let's discuss the one common thing every pilot uses in reference to altitude: The altimeter. An altimeter is standard in every aircraft, and its sole job is to inform the pilot of how high in the sky they are. What is standard weather? If you set 29.92 It’s really that simple.

Theyre pretty much the same thing, but heres the difference: DH is measured above the ground (AGL). LPV is the most accurate RNAV approach and can get you as low as 200 feet above the ground (AGL), just like an ILS Category I approach. On approach charts, youll usually see both the decision height (DH) and the decision altitude (DA).

I immediately leveled off at around 650’ AGL, and began slowing down. Details pulled from memory of the missed approach are all there and fully retrievable beginning with the updraft and realization the altimeter was indicating a brisk climb through 1,100’ MSL (1000’ AGL). miles northeast of the airport in reduced visibility.

Altimeter Setting The altimeter setting gives you pressure information in inches of mercury or hectopascals. For accurate altitude readings, you should set your aircraft’s altimeter to match the local altimeter setting. OVC010CB : Overcast layer of cumulonimbus clouds at 1,000 feet AGL.

For a dual flight, the minimum altitude is 1,500ft AGL (above ground level). If practicing these maneuvers solo, raise the minimum altitude to 2,000ft AGL. Glance at your altimeter. It’s an amazing feeling to hit your target altitude without having glanced at the altimeter. The bank angle should be about 15°.

From a flight safety standpoint, the app will alert you to a high cabin altitude, nearby terrain/obstacles, high sink rates, descent through 500 AGL, and nearby traffic and carbon monoxide when coupled with a Sentry ADS-B receiver.
