Remember, Density altitude is the altitude at which my plane will perform at, regardless of my actual altitude. True Altitude The last altitude we’ll look at is True altitude. True altitude is your actual vertical height above sea level. It is measured in MSL, or mean sea level.

Key Takeaways Pilots use six altitude types: Indicated, True, Absolute, Pressure, Density, and Flight Levels. Indicated altitude shows the altimeter reading, while true altitude refers to height above MSL. Absolute altitude measures height above ground, which is critical during approaches and landings.
