+/- 75 feet
+/- 30 feet <= correct answer
+/- 70 feet

Servo assisted altimeters are accurate to 1mb, ±30ft at sea level and ±100ft at 40 000ft.

However, required accuracy is +/- 60ft."

I am not English native and I do not fully understand the difference between the 30ft mentioned, and the 60ft.

Can somebody explain this to me ?

Thank you.
Hi, I actually had a doubt to the same query, let me know, if you find an answer to this question
