How To Set the Altimeter | Two Private Pilot FAA Written Exam Questions

Two questions from the FAA Private Pilot Written exam are shown with explanations, but some basics of setting the altimeter are shown first. Ever heard of a Kollsman window? In this video, you will find out why it is named a Kollsman window.

An altimeter can be set using automated weather, but if automated weather doesn't exist at the departure airport, field elevation can be set into the altimeter. Both methods are shown as well as where to find automated weather frequencies on a sectional chart and in the FAA Chart Supplement book.

If you are preparing for a Private Pilot checkride, this oral exam guide is a must buy. I used it myself back in the 90s and had all my students use it to prepare for checkrides when working as a Flight Instructor - https://amzn.to/3Cgbl7X
