Altimeter Calibration Height
Here's one that may seem silly: to what height, precisely, is an
altimeter calibrated to? The bottom of the landing gear? The height of the static port? the chord line of the fuselage? In a Cessna, the difference between these is minimal, but on an airliner, you're talking about a possible +/- 10-15 feet (even discounting the radar altimeter). What is the answer, o Swammi of Salami? TheSmokingGnu
