John R. Copeland wrote: In the case of non-standard lapse rates, the lower the airport, the more the altimeter differs from true height across mountain peaks. Lapse rate is temp and has little effect on the altimeter setting. Because you are already separated from the ground by 2000 feet it is much more important that everybody have the same setting. No such thing as an area altimeter setting.
