Default Altimeter Calibration Height

Perhaps you misunderstood Jose's example, but I believe he's correct;
while an altimeter senses the pressure at the level of the insturment, it
*indicates* the calibration set by either the shop (e.g. compensating for
the altitude of the installation) or the pilot via the Kollsman window.


I understood it, I didn't say he was wrong.
