altimeter when the barometric subscale has
been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2
millibars).
Altitude measured from standard sea-level
pressure (29.92 in. Hg) by a pressure or
barometric altimeter. It is the indicated
pressure altitude corrected for position and
instrument error. In this handbook, altimeter
instrument errors are assumed to be zero.
Actual atmospheric pressure at field
elevation.
The wind velocities recorded as variables on
the charts of this handbook are to be
understood as the headwind or tailwind
components of the reported winds.
Maximum power permissible for takeoff.
Maximum power permissible continuously
during flight.
