I don't find this to be true, Andy. Altimeters need
to be re-set primarily when landing at a destination 1000's of miles away from the takeoff location. I find my altimeter to be surprisingly accurate when landing at my takeoff location after a 4 hour flight. This is true with the SN10 altineter, also. JJ The issue is that the the altimeter setting is usually unknown at the time of landing but it is almost certainly different for the altimeter setting at takeoff time. The altmeter error on landing, if still using the takeoff altimeter setting, may exceed 100 feet even if there is no significant weather change. Andy |
