Does it mean "If you descend from high to low you will maybe hit something?"
Is a student likely to imagine it refers to high to low pressure changes at the same level that if not corrected on the subscale will result in the altimeter progressively reading high causing the pilot to descend in order to maintain the altimeter reading?
