That's my question... Let's try this. ATIS gives the pressure at the airport reporting for Yes? That pressure setting should cause your altimeter to read field elevation +- 75' Yes? You reset your altimeter to that pressure setting yes? Your altimeter now reads that field elevation +- 75' Yes...

No, no troll. Really just trying to understand... Thanks for all the help so far.

Asked another way... I set my altimeter to the B pressure that's given to me by ATIS for whatever airport. So now my altimeter reads that fields elevation, yes? But I'm say at 5,000 AGL?

Question about setting the altimeter while in the air... If I set the altimeter to the pressure at my home field and read the field elevation +- 75', then as I approach my destination (at 3,500') that's say 2,000' higher than my home field elevation and reset the altimeter to pressure that ATIS...

Those are some cool old pics. My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed at Peterson Field in the late 60's. He actually worked on the city block known as Ent Air Force base. The sonic boom had not yet been outlawed and those would rattle the windows in the base housing we lived in.

I'm in exactly the same situation. Got my ticket in 1987 and didn't really fly much after that. I've had 3 training flights with an instructor and hope to take my check off ride today. I also plan on getting my Instrument and Commercial tickets.

I got to fly with the guys at Sky Combat Ace in Henderson NV last year and absolutely no fear or sickness at all, and we did it all. We did the Red Rock Canyon run, 3 dog fights and all the aerobatics I guess there are to do. Rolls, loops, tail slides, hammer heads, lomcevaks, inverted flat...

I'm in the same boat. Got my PPL in 1987 and didn't fly again for about 20 years. Started flying again 2007 and flew about 20 hours or so and had to stop again. Just recently started back and have flown 3 hours with a CFI to complete my BFR and get current. I really want to start on my IR as...

My first post. A recent flight with the folks at Sky Combat Ace in Henderson NV has renewed my passion for flying.
