Setting altimeters with no radio
My regular altimeter broke, and while it was being fixed I flew using
the altimeter in my IFR GPS -- which is coupled to the altimeter in my
transponder--and which BTW has an adjustment for barometer reading. I
am not sure exactly how it works, I think it uses both GPS and the
transponder altimeter reading. It was King KLN90B and a King
transponder, if that matters.
