Airplane altimeters over-read in colder-than-normal temperatures. If you were on a plane before the digital age and it had to clear a ridge, this is how the flight crew decided whether they were actually high enough to make it.

You don't need to have an E6B analogue flight computer (though it's fun); just hit any key to see the complex steps — one really hoped the navigator hadn't skipped their morning tea or coffee. 🙂

United States Navy E-6B MERCURY 164386 as SLUR82 at FL240 over the San Francisco Bay Area. The E-6B is an emergency communication platform and is a survival part of our nuclear deterrence. It is literally the most powerful aircraft in the world as it can relay launch messages to our SLBM's and ICBM's. It is painted all white to help reflect the thermal pulse of a nearby nuclear blast #milair #aviationphotography #E6B #Doomsday #Nuclear #NuclearWar #planespotting #haveglass #aviation #AvGeek #spotter #aviationdaily #photography #aircraft #Nikon #Z9 #AvgeeksofMastodon #aircraft #nikon #nikonphotgraphy
