Default Altimeter Calibration Height

You do when you imply that there is a necessary agreement between what the
altimeter senses and what it displays.


What implied that?



Jose listed them in response to an earlier post of yours.


I must have missed that one.



You actually said, "When you tell a pilot "altimeter 3012" the pilot
simply adjusts the *Kollsman setting* to 3012." (emphasis mine).
As we described the same action, this distinction is without a functional
difference.


I think there's a significant functional difference between adjusting the
altimeter setting and adjusting the indicated altitude.
