The requirement is to call the exact altitude/level passing, [eg. 3,800'] without rounding off [eg. 4,000'], . . . to verify only that your mode-c, pressure altitude function, is exactly reporting your indicated altitude. It's not to verify your true [actual] altitude, or whether your altitude is erroneously affected by CADC failure or other external anomalies such as blocked pitot tubes . . .
