Default Small Altimeter Options for Gliders


This depends on where you're flying. In EASA country, a certified
altimeter is part of the required minimum equipment.



This is for flying in the USA, sorry forgot to include that.

Default Small Altimeter Options for Gliders

Speaking only to readability, I recommend the digital option. The 57
mm Winter altimeter is horrible, because Winter decided to use a 10
foot interval and thus overcrowded the dial. If they had simply used a
20 foot interval, like the 80 mm United altimeter, it would have been
1000% better.

Having said that, I recommend that you go with whatever your Flight
Manual calls out.
