Yes, I believe so.kentb said:The altimeter reading after you set the colsman to 29.92, correct?
kentb said:When doing my flight testing (performance), I am setting my pressure to 29.92 which will give me pressure alt. How do I factor in temp?
If I fly at 8000 ft pressure alt. at a temp of 53F degrees, what is the true alt for testing purposes?

Sorry I deleted my message, ha ha ha, good one.ScottSchmidt said:All you have to do is attach a Garmin 496 to your sextant and your sextant will be within +- 50 feet.
I'm sure there are some MIT guys out there who have found a way to do it.
