This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended

 an altitude indication which is too high.
 a correct altitude indication as long as the altimeter subscale is set to correct for non-standard
temperature.
 an altitude indication which is too low.
 a blockage of the Pitot tube by ice, freezing the altimeter indication to its present value.

5 A flight level is a... (1,00 P.)


 true altitude.
 density altitude.
 pressure altitude.
 altitude above ground.

6 A true altitude is... (1,00 P.)


 a height above ground level corrected for non-standard pressure.
 an altitude above mean sea level corrected for non-standard temperature.
 a height above ground level corrected for non-standard temperature.
 a pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.
