Types of Altitude (Indicated, Calibrated and True)

This video explains the concepts of indicated altitude, calibrated altitude and true altitude, the considerations and correction factors to take into account as well as practical examples of how to use them.

When using the flight computer the altitude to match the temperature should be the pressure altitude not the QNH one! Great video anyway

[@ravidandge7084]

I simply love you guys. One of the best Aviation YT channel. After watching your videos my questions turn into answers. Your explanation is awesome. Keep it up ❤️

[@kidsaviationmentour]

This is more than useful,expecially the beginers

[@user-vu7my6kd4g]

Thank you very much for very detailed and clear explanations! Thanks to you I got it🙏

[@AntiZi0n1st]

i wish these guys were there when i was a student pilot :D. way to go!

[@badgerfishinski6857]

Good training video. Good illustrations. To the point. Now if you can only define the difference between True love and Calibrated love. Lol.

[@pilotmanu_]

thanks a lot, very helpful !

[@miketaylor3947]

Great video, thanks!

[@that.summer.breeze]

very helpful videos :)

Your channel save me every time .thank you 🖤

[@maheralazzawi7814]

very good

[@billyzang8264]

awesome information. thanks for putting them together.

For barometric altimeter, it works on the assumption that for each 1000 feet increase in altitude, the pressure will drop 1Hg. This assumption is very far from the realistic atmosphere at a reasonably high altitude (say, above 10000 feet). Why this error is not discussed and incorporated when converting indicated altitude to true altitude?

[@SupersonicSynthwave80]

This correction is not necessary because the flight at altitude does not have obstacles and bumps as in flights at low altitude. For this reason, it was decided to use an indicated altitude pattern as the only means of demarcating the flight ceiling between aircraft.

Thank you so much for the valuable information you provide, they are all so useful and easy to understand! Thanks again and much appreciated.

[@vittoriafiorentini8276]

If possible make a video about different areas A B C D E G..... thank you very much

[@emreeren2703]

thank you :)

[@ganeshr5]

using alternative terminology, is indicated altitude same as pressure altitude (corrected for non-std pressures) and true altitude same as density altitude (pressure altitude corrected for non-std temperatures) ? Private Pilot FAA questions use pressure and density altitudes and never use the terms QNH or QFE.

[@bitcoinforex6963]

Just to clarify , the “high to low look out below” applies to both pressure and temperature ?

[@louispagot2153]

Hi ! Thanks for all those very clear videos. I know this vid released two years ago but : if I understand well, when an it plane fly FL330, altimeter Std 29,92, his actual altitude will continuously varying as the pressure change ?

[@eazenang6155]

Why does the QNH remain the same when temperatures differ, shouldnt they change too

[@staralliance185]

Question, why couldn’t you just tune into the local atis to stay current?

[@phoonjzc]

indicated airspeed is not corrected for pressure. But why indicated altitude is?

[@user-jp9lu1be2n]

At 6:05, the concept u gave is wrong and it will be opposite of that

[@joeblowjohndoe206]

Calibrated altitude? Who ever heard of that?

[@AviationTheory]

Hi! If you check any POH or AFM you'll find it. It's just the indicated altitude corrected for instrument and position error.
