Brodes 0 #1 December 22, 2004 Quick one....Will my Alti3 be ok at high altitudes when i fly on a jet? or will it just go around and around till it breaks.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites diablopilot 2 #2 December 22, 2004 It will probably show you are no higher than 6,000 to 8,000 since that's the air pressure the cabin of the airplane will remain at. That is unless you have one of the cool new portable Alti-3 Radar/Laser Altimeters. Then it will read the height above the floor, till you point it out the window.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
