Summary of what's new.

Some significant updates to altimetry.

Devices with a barometer now report pressure altitude as well as GNSS altitude. This enhances vertical separation with ADS-B traffic.

All altitudes are rounded to 100 feet with a prefix -

  • A = altitude AMSL on local QNH,
  • F = pressure altitude, QNH 1013 or
  • G = GNSS altitude.

For example, G010 means 1000' GNSS or GPS, A010 means 1000' AMSL on local QNH.
