This tack has been taken, and shows our understanding of the issue. Yes,
the indicated altitude will change when the altimeter is moved up to the
top of the tower, despite the static port being at the base.


Eureka!



The physics of the instrument is not at issue. Rather, the calibration
rules are, and
those are made by the FAA.


I've said nothing about calibration rules.
