I live in mountainous terrain. So CFIT is not what I would like to have in my logbook. I notice that not one nav-log has this to be calculated. Why? Is it not important? If I do calculate my true altitude should I then make the change inflight? Example I am at 5000 feet IA. Altimeter is set correctly to the local setting, my True Altitude calculation says I am 4,750. Should I climb to 5250 IA to achieve 5,000? If I didn't, does Radar see me at 4750 while my altimeter reads 5000?
Thanks
