An altimeter is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying.

The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer, which, like barometers found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is above sea level.

But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14,000 feet above sea level.

The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sea level pressure before leaving the airport and then corrects it in flight by new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course. The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.

Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflection. It calculates the height of the flying plane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required for them to bounce back. It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.

15. Which of the following diagrams gives the correct relationship between altimeters and barometers? (a. altimeters; b. barometers)

16. The following drawing shows a plane flying over a mountain. Which of the heights given in the

drawing is given by the barometers altimeter in the plane at the moment?

17. The barometer altimeter won ?t work if the plane flies _____.

A. beyond the atmosphere

B. above very high land

C. over very uneven ground

D. within 1,000 feet of the ground

18. How does the radio altimeter compare with the barometer altimeter when a plane is flying over an ocean?

A. It works faster.

B. It works slower.

C. It is more accurate.

D. It is less reliable.
