Pressure altitude is defined as an aircraft's height above the standard datum plane, representing the altitude an altimeter would show if set to the standard pressure of 29.92 inHg. It is crucial for ...
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Khalid, I'm not sure I entirely follow the question as written, but an aircraft sitting on the ground at an airport with field elevation 2000 feet above mean sea level will have a ...
Norwegian investigators have disclosed that they are probing a low approach involving a Wideroe De Havilland Dash 8-100 at the northern Svolvaer airport last month. The aircraft dipped 700ft below the ...
Most airplanes fly above Mean Sea Level altitudes (MSL), the altimeter would read 5,280 feet in Denver. They are corrected for barometric pressure. When flying above 18,000 feet in the U.S., airplanes ...
French investigators are highlighting the importance of validating altimeter pressure settings, after a Hop Bombardier CRJ1000 descended below the glidepath on approach to Nantes. The aircraft (F-HMLD ...
