is the altitude shown on the altimeter when 1013 mb is set on the sub-scale.
may be found on the navigation computer by setting outside air temperature against pressure altitude in the altitude window.
is the altitude in the standard atmosphere to which the observed density corresponds.
increases with a decrease in temperature compared with ISA.
