During a flight over the sea at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1016 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1016 hPa), the true altitude is constantly decreasing. What is the probable reason for this?
An aircraft circles an Alpine summit at its true elevation. The mean air-column temperature below the aircraft is lower than ISA, and the serviceable altimeter is set to the correct local QNH of 1013 hPa. Compared with the summit’s elevation, what will the altimeter indicate?
An aircraft passes an Alpine summit at its true elevation. The mean air-column temperature below the aircraft is higher than ISA, and the serviceable altimeter is set to the correct local QNH. Compared with the summit’s elevation, what will the altimeter indicate?
An aircraft is descending to land under IFR. If the local QNH is 1009 hPa, what will happen to the altitude reading when the altimeter is reset at the transition level?
During the climb after take-off, the altimeter setting is adjusted at the transition altitude. If the local QNH is 1023 hPa, what will happen to the altimeter reading during the resetting procedure?
During the climb after take-off, the altimeter setting is adjusted at the transition altitude. If the local QNH is 966 hPa, what will happen to the altimeter reading during the resetting procedure?
On the attached idealised constant-pressure contour chart, both closed centres are geopotential-height minima and the contours have equal height intervals. An aircraft flies from A to B while maintaining the same indicated altitude with 1013.25 hPa set. Which statement is correct?
You are flying at FL 200. The outside air temperature is -40°C, and the QNH for a sea-level reference is 1033 hPa. Assuming a constant ISA temperature deviation throughout the column and using EASA theoretical-exam altimetry approximations, which value is closest to the true altitude?
You are flying at FL 160. The outside air temperature is -27°C, and the QNH for a sea-level reference is 1003 hPa. Assuming a constant ISA temperature deviation throughout the column and using EASA theoretical-exam altimetry approximations, which value is closest to the true altitude?
You plan to fly across a mountain range where the recommended minimum altitude is 12 000 ft AMSL. The air mass is on average 10°C warmer than ISA and the altimeter is set to QNH 1023 hPa. What will the altimeter indicate at the recommended minimum altitude?
