Hello,
I am working on my instrument right now, and there is a question in my written study guide that states "Q: Altimeter setting is the value to which the scale of pressure altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates...." and I know the answer is "true altitude at field elevation".
My problem is the question makes absolutely no sense to me. Could someone please help me understand this?
