Tap an option and the page marks it. The right answer is shown either way.
Question 1
MSA given as 12 000 ft, flying over mountains in temperatures +9°C, QNH set as 1023 (obtained from a nearby airfield). What will the true altitude be when 12 000 ft is reached?
Question 2
When flying at FL180 in the Southern Hemisphere you experience a left to right crosswind. What is happening to your true altitude if indicated altitude is constant?
Question 3
Flying from Marseilles (QNH 1012) to Palma (QNH 1015) at FL100. You do not reset the altimeter, why would true altitude be the same throughout the flight?
Question 4
Which of these would cause your true altitude to decrease with a constant indicated altitude?
Question 5
An aircraft flying in the Alps on a very cold day, QNH 1013 set in the altimeter, flies level with the summit of the mountains. Altitude from aneroid altimeter reads:
