I know that it is good operating practice to compare the altimeter reading to the published altitude on the approach chart when passing over the outer marker while on the glideslope of a ILS. When making this comparison, what exactly does the comparison indicate? NOTE: Assume the altimeter is properly calibrated and there is no nonstandard temperature effects and no extreme atmospheric pressure effects. Thank you for the feedback.
