As to altimeter errors.
The UH-60L has a radalt.
Are you trying to tell me that the alleged acceptable error for a rad alt is 80'-130'?
I think not.
I doubt that the rules have changed that much since I was last flying a Blackhawk. (yes, it has been a while).
Will do a bit more reading, thanks.
My question exactly. Where is the radar altimeter in this discussion. I also can’t believe that when flying a helo at night over water cross checking the radar altimeter with the baro altimeter is not just good practice but required!
