Answer 16

Height above standard datum plane.
the altitude that is indicated whenever the altimeter setting dial ( Kohlsman window ) is adjusted to 29.92 .

Answer 17

the pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature and / or pressure . Rotating the setting knob on the altimeter simultaneously rotates the setting dial and the altimeter hands at a rate of one inch per 1,000 feet of altitude .
Thus , increasing the setting dial from 29.15 to 29.85 would cause the hands of the altimeter to show an increase of 700 feet .

Question 21

3-10 How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter ?
A - Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude .
B - Higher temperatures expand the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is higher than true altitude
C - Lower temperatures lower the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude

Answer 21

A - Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude .
On a warm day , the expanded air is lighter than on a cold day , and consequently the pressure levels are raised For example , the pressure level where the altimeter indicates 10,000 feet will be higher on a warm day than under standard conditions . On a cold day the reverse is true .

Answer 23

A - In colder than standard air temperature .
True altitude will be lower than indicated altitude in colder than standard air temperature , even with an accurate altimeter set to 29.92
