The Altimeter & Types of Altitude - AeroGuard Flight Training Center

Take a look inside the Altimeter to learn how it works, how to read the instrument and how to properly set it. AeroGuard helps you understand the different types of altitude being indicated altitude, true altitude, and absolute altitude and how to find the differences of each as we take you through an in-depth flight scenario and an FAA Knowledge Test example question.

Hey there ... altitude above the ground is geometric altitude not absolute... Absolute altitude means if we measure the altitude from centre of earth ... then as a pilot/aero engineer / trainer or professor we have to convey right information... Geopotential altitude is also there ...i hope u will rectify it

[@flyaeroguard]

Hi Suhita! The FAA defines absolute altitude as the vertical distance of an airplane above ground level in the Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3A) Glossary. Please reach out if you have any additional questions, we are happy to address any and all concerns! Thank you!
