Under what conditions is the indicated altitude the same as the true altitude?
Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude? When at sea level under standard conditions.
What is the condition for true altitude to be equal to pressure altitude?
A) When the atmospheric pressure is 29.92 inches Hg. B) When standard atmospheric conditions exist. C) When indicated altitude is equal to the pressure altitude….3.3.3.8.8.A.1.

When the sea level pressure is higher than the altimeter setting the true altitude will be higher than the indicated altitude?
When an aircraft’s altimeter cannot be set to a pressure setting above 31.00 “Hg, the aircraft’s true altitude will be higher than the indicated altitude on the barometric altimeter.
What condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same?
Pressure Altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 29.92 in Hg (1013 hPa in other parts of the world). It is primarily used in aircraft performance calculations and in high-altitude flight. Density Altitude is formally defined as “pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature variations.”
Under what conditions will true altitude be lower than indicated?
When the temperature is warmer than standard, you are higher than your altimeter indicates. When you are flying above a location for which you obtained a local current altimeter setting in extremely cold temperatures, the true altitude of the aircraft can be significantly lower than indicated.
What condition would cause the altimeter to indicate?
When the temperature is colder than standard, you are at an altitude lower than your altimeter indicates. When the temperature is warmer than standard, you are higher than your altimeter indicates.
What does high to low Look out below mean?
When you fly from a high pressure to a low pressure area, the altimeter will read higher because of the lower pressure. If you don’t adjust the altimeter setting, and you continue to fly the same indicated altitude, you will be lower than you think, so “look out below.”
