Question

An aerodrome with an elevation of 400 feet ASL has a procedure stating circuit height is 1 500 feet AGL. The aeroplane's altimeter will read . . . . . feet ASL when flying at circuit height.

Answer 1

The altimeter reading will be 2,100 feet ASL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The aeroplane's altimeter will read 2,100 feet ASL when flying at circuit height.

When an aeroplane is at circuit height, its altitude above ground level (AGL) is 1,500 feet. The elevation of the aerodrome is 400 feet above sea level (ASL).

Therefore, to find the altimeter reading, we add the circuit height AGL to the elevation of the aerodrome ASL: 400 ft ASL + 1,500 ft AGL = 1,900 ft ASL. So, the reading on the altimeter when flying at circuit height is 1,900 feet ASL.
