3 In which way may an altimeter subscale which is set to an incorrect QNH lead to an
incorrect altimeter reading? (1,00 P.)
If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too low.
This may lead to much greater heights above the ground than intended
If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too high.
This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended
If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too low.
This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended
If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too high.
This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended
