The good old altimeter problems
I came across this question:
A helicopter pilot starts from his base at 3600ft heliport elevation. The QNH is set to the local value 1032 hPa. The temperatures are 15°C above ISA. What is the approximate altimeter reading upon landing in a mountain area with true altitude 8050ft, assuming unchanged altimeter setting?
8050
8300
7800
7600
answer is c)
Please correct me if I`m wrong but I think with a correct altimeter setting, and standing on an airport the altimeter will always show the correct elevation regardless of my actual temperature. Is this right?If yes, my altimeter reading should tell me the correct elevation If I land at another airport assuming the QNH has not changed. Am I right? So the answer should be a)
