GPS altitude vs altimeter altitude
On Sun, 16 Apr 2006 14:37:53 -0500, Chris W wrote:
It is my understanding that even if a GPS is reading perfectly and your standard altimeter is reading perfectly even on a standard day that the 2 values will not be the same Mine generally read within 50-100 feet of one another. However, I rarely fly above 3,500 feet. (Altimeter is 60 years old, assuming same age as airplane.) -- all the best, Dan Ford email: usenet AT danford DOT net Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
