  2. Altimeter setting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter_setting

    QNH - is the barometric altimeter setting that causes an altimeter to read aircraft elevation above mean sea level - altitude (AMSL - above mean sea level) in ISA temperature conditions in the vicinity of the airfield that reported the QNH value. QFE - is the barometric altimeter setting that causes an altimeter to read zero when at the ...

  3. Flight level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level

    The altimeter setting used is the ISA surface pressure of 1013 hPa or (29.92 inHg). The actual surface pressure may vary from this at different locations and times. Therefore, by using a standard pressure setting, every aircraft has the same altimeter setting, and vertical clearance can be maintained. [1] Scale comparison of some flight level ...

  4. Pressure altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_altitude

    It indicates altitude obtained when an altimeter is set to an agreed baseline pressure under certain circumstances in which the aircraft’s altimeter would be unable to give a useful altitude readout. Examples would be landing at a high altitude or near sea level under conditions of exceptionally high air pressure.
