How should you preflight chek the altimeter prior to an IFR flight?
a) set the altimerter to 29.92" Hg. with current temperature and the altimeter indication, determine the true altitude to compare with the field elevation. b) set the altimeter first with 29.92" Hg and then the current altimeter setting. the change in altitude should correspond to the change in setting. c) set the altimeer to the current altimeter setting. the indication should be within 75 feet of the actual elevation for acceptable accuracy |
