No consideration given to the effects of temperature on your altimeter?

You might want to read this FAA advisory circular.

And you might want to read this article, then have a stiff drink...

http://www.bluecoat.org/reports/Long_98_Cold.pdf

The second URL would then have taken you to the first incident to which 'alf' kindly points you. Sadly no 'official' report, though.

This topic 'TEMPERATURE ERROR' goes back years on pprune and there is a stack of good stuff there for those who seek it.

.85 - one of the things I look for is a pilot who applies TEC to his enroute MSA - and I hope I do get it too.

Hopefully we all know now that the errors at 200' are insignificant, and that there are far bigger traps waiting for us as alf's two found out?
