Pressure Levels

In my January 2 post about the Earth's atmosphere, I said "some things you just have to memorize" with regards to which pressures correspond to which levels of the ICAO standard atmosphere.  As it turns out, memorization is not required if you have a CX-2 flight computer (and possibly others, but this is the one I have)!   Here's how:

  • press 'FLIGHT'
  • select (1) Altitude
  • select (3) Std Atmos
  • enter the altitude
  • read the OAT, as well as pressure in "Hg and mb!

Small wins :)
