Definition
Altimeter Temperature
Error Correction is applied to altimeters to compensate for error caused by
deviation from ISA conditions.
Description
Pressure altimeters are calibrated to ISA conditions. Any deviation from ISA will result in error proportional to ISA deviation and to the height of the aircraft above the aerodrome pressure datum.
