Welcome to the Learning and Tutorials section. This section is mostly under construction but when it becomes available it will contain several learning aids for a wide range of aviation topics. Below is a little preview of a Flash based altimeter simulator for you to play with. You must have the Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash 8 plugin installed in your browser in order to view these pages properly. Please check the message below to see if you have the correct version of Flash


If you do not have the latest version of flash you may visit www.adobe.com and go to the downloads section for the latest plugin version or go via the direct link:

Altimeter
Simulator
 

 
 
 

Instructions: Enter the pressure altitude and altimeter setting. The altimeter on the left will receive the altimeter setting and will show indicated altitude once the setting has been entered. The altimeter on the right is set at exactly 1013.25 hPa and therefore will always show pressure altitude.

Note that the display on the right altimeter shows a rounded value: 1013.3 hPa and 29.92 InHg even though it is set exactly at 1013.25 hPa (standard pressure at sea level). The Altimeter on the left starts with a setting of exactly 1013.3 hPa and therefore shows a one foot positive value due to the rounding error. The left altimeter will always be set to the exact value selected by the user on the altimeter setting input window.
