question bank on altimeter

[bayblade]

hi all,
i need a question bank which covers the chapter ALTIMETER as the gsp does't have much. i'd appreciate if you guys could post as many question as you could. also the answers, not the working. thanks a ton in advance.
i was also wondering if you don't mind could you do the same for ASI, VSI and MACHMETER.?:confused:
