  • Altimeter is an instrument used to measure the height / altitude of an object above a certain level. It is also known as Altitude Meter.
  • It is used in aviation industry. It helps to measure the distance of aircraft from the ground by correcting the errors caused by temperature and local air pressure.
  • It is also capable of detecting dangerous currents like wind shear to facilitate automatic landing. Its unit of measurement is hectopascal (hPa).
