Any scientists out there that can figure out the answers to these two questions?
1. Given an indicated altitude of 10,000 feet and an actual OAT of -20C, you set your altimeter to a local station setting of 29.62". If the station elevation is 2500 feet, what is your actual altitude?
A.9250
B.9550
C.9850
2. Given a field elevation of 1500 feet, altimeter 1000 millibars, calculate pressure altitude.
A.1110 feet
B.1890 feet
C.890 feet
I know that the answers to both are (B) but can't for the life of me figure out the methodology used to get there.
1 inch HG = 34 Millibars
1 inch HG = 1000 feet
Appreciate any help. Thanks.
