"A"absolute altimeter
- Português
- altímetro absoluto
- Definição1
- An instrument intended to give acceptably accurate, direct indications of absolute altitude (i.e., the vertical distance of the aircraft from the surface of the earth). A radio or a radar altimeter indicates absolute altitude roughly because of its inherent errors. Theoretically, a laser altimeter should indicate correct absolute altitude and can therefore be called an absolute altimeter.
