Difference between Altitude and Pressure altitude

Altitude vs. Pressure altitude

Altitude or height (sometimes known as depth) is defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, atmospheric pressure, and many more). Pressure altitude within the atmosphere is the altitude in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) with the same atmospheric pressure as that of the part of the atmosphere in question.

Similarities between Altitude and Pressure altitude

Altitude and Pressure altitude have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Altimeter, Atmospheric pressure, Density altitude, Flight level, Inch of mercury, International Standard Atmosphere, Pascal (unit), QNH, Sea level.

Altimeter

An altimeter or an altitude meter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level.

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet).

Density altitude

The density altitude is the altitude relative to standard atmospheric conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the place of observation.

Flight level

In aviation and aviation meteorology, a flight level (FL) is defined as a vertical altitude at standard pressure, nominally expressed in hundreds of feet.

Inch of mercury

Inch of mercury (inHg and ″Hg) is a unit of measurement for pressure.

International Standard Atmosphere

The International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is an atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes or elevations.

Pascal (unit)

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength.

QNH

QNH is a Q code indicating the atmospheric pressure adjusted to mean sea level.

Sea level

Mean sea level (MSL) (often shortened to sea level) is an average level of the surface of one or more of Earth's oceans from which heights such as elevations may be measured.

Altitude and Pressure altitude Comparison

Altitude has 54 relations, while Pressure altitude has 20. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 12.16% = 9 / (54 + 20).
