What is absolute altitude?
The altitude read directly
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface
The height above the standard datum plane
What is true altitude?

The altitude indicates when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92
The indicated altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure
Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates
