If an IAP is based on object clearance (in some cases, as low as 100'
clearance, right?), but does not account for temperature variations and does not actually measure geometric altitude above the ground, is it not possible that one would find oneself at an altitude that from a barometric standpoint is legal and correct, but from a geometric altitude is within the bounds of that tower that would have been 100' lower if it also changed altitude with the temperature? Just a thought... And a good thought it is. Try this: http://www.aircraftbuyer.com/learn/train06.htm John Bell www.cockpitgps.com
