2.4.2  ADTS 405F Mk2 Flight-line Version
It is important that the position of the ADTS 405F Mk2 in relation to the aircraft altitude 
sensors is known. An altitude correction must be made to allow for the difference in height 
between the reference level and the aircraft's altitude sensors. See Section 7.3.11, “SETUP, 
ALT,” on page 87 for details of altitude correction.
Figure 2-3: ADTS 405F Mk2 Altitude Reference
The corrected altitude output equals the true altitude output increased by height difference. 
See equation below:
Note: The Δh altitude correction value should be positive when the ADTS is positioned 
below the aircraft.
WARNING  The ADTS should not be placed in contact with hazardous 
fuel vapor concentrations.
