I saw this question posted and I'm trying to solve it. An answer was provided. However, I don't see it! Please pass on some information if you can help out.
What is the altimeter error when 10,000 PH (never heard of PH either) at ISA -34?
At 10,000 ft standard temp is -5 (2c/1000 feet)
Difference of 29c
2% for every 5 degrees variation from ISA (approx 6)
6 x 2% = 12% (Over Reads)
Answer given is 14%
am I out to lunch or is there answer wrong? Also PH? Pressure height?
Thank you guys!
