chapter 3/4

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

• If the altimeter has no mechanical error

• When at sea level under standard conditions

• When at 18,000 feet MSL with the altimeter set at 29.92

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs

• 70-foot increase in indicated altitude

• 70-foot increased in density altitude

• 700-foot increase in indicated altitude

Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

• When the atmosphere pressure is 29.92 “Hg

• Wen standard atmospheric conditions exist

• When indicated altitude is equal to the pressure altitude

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

• At sea level, when the temperature is 0 degrees f

• When the altimeter has no installation error

• At standard temperature

If a flight is ,are from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

• The actual altitude above sea level

• Higher than the actual altitude above sea level

• 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

• Lower than the actual altitude above sea level

• Higher than the actual altitude above sea level

• The actual altitude above sea level

Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude

• Air temperature lower than standard

• Atmospheric pressure lower than standard

• Air temperature warmer than standard

(Refer to figure 3) altimeter 1 indicates

• 500 feet

• 1,500mfeet

• 10,500 feet

Altimeter 2 indicates

• 1,500 feet

• 4,500 feet

• 14,50p feet

Altimeter 3 indicates

• 9,500 feet

• 10,950 feet

• 15,940 feet
