An altimeter is an active instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level. The traditional altimeter found in most aircraft works in measuring the air pressure from a static port in the airplane . Air pressure decreases with an increase of altitude - about one millibar (0.03 inches of mercury) per 27 feet (8.23 m) close to sea level. The altimeter is calibrated to show the pressure directly as altitude in accordance with a mathematical model defined by the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA). |
