Hi
Without making these meteorological corrections, geometric and calibrated pressure altitude can differ by as much as 1000 feet for a Diamond altitude gain. Marc I do not know about the conversion process required to convert geometric and I assume the actual within the bounds of GPS error altitude, to pressure altitude. However given the assertion that the pressure altitude can differ by as much as 1000ft from the geometric altitude, does it imply that two pressure altitudes can actually differ by 2000ft? Would it not provide sufficient argument to switch to geometric altitude? Paul
