Description / Abstract:
This Aerospace Standard covers two types of compensated
altimeters which indicate, by visual means, the pressure altitude
compensated for the static pressure system errors of the
aircraft.
Type I - Range: -1,000 to 30,000 feet. Barometric
pressure--scale range: at least 28.1-30.99 in. Hg (952-1049
millibars). May include markers working in conjunction with the
Barometric Pressure Scale to indicate pressure altitude.
Type II - Range: -1,000 to 60,000 feet. Barometric
pressure--scale range: at least 28.1- 30.99 in. Hg (952-1049
millibars). May include markers working in conjunction with the
Barometric Pressure Scale to indicate pressure.
