Enter the appropriate chart with indicated airspeed, the indicated
pressure altitude considering the appropriate airplane configuration to
read the altimetric correction. The true pressure altitude will be the
indicated pressure altitude minus the altimetric correction.
EXAMPLE
Given:
ADSP 3
Indicated Airspeed................................................... 200 KIAS
Flaps ........................................................................ 2
Altitude..................................................................... 3000 ft
Determine:
Altimetric correction ................................................. 30 ft
True Pressure Altitude............................................. 2970 ft
