corrected altitude
1corrected altitude — An indicated altitude corrected for nonstandard outside air temperature. The corrected altitude approximates true altitude …
2Corrected firing data — was a term used in the U.S. Coast Artillery to refer to firing data (range and azimuth to the target) that had been corrected[1] for various non standard conditions. This could include corrections to range and corrections to azimuth or deflection …
3Altitude — For other uses, see Altitude (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Attitude. Altitude or height is defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, and more). As a general definition, altitude… …
4altitude — i. The vertical distance of a level, a point, or an object considered as a point, measured from mean sea level (ICAO). In the case of aircraft in flight, it is normally expressed in flight levels or hundreds of feet. For example, an aircraft… …
5true altitude — i. The actual height above sea level. The calibrated altitude corrected for air temperature. See altitude. ii. The actual altitude of a celestial body above the celestial horizon. The observed altitude must be corrected for several variables… …
6Meridian altitude — is an astronomical navigation method of calculating an observer s latitude. Contents 1 Principle 2 Methodology 3 See also 4 References …
7density altitude — An atmospheric density expressed in terms of the altitude, which corresponds with that density in the standard atmosphere. It is the pressure altitude corrected for temperature. Density altitude is used for computing and predicting aircraft and… …
8computed altitude — i. The indicated altitude corrected for installation and instrument errors. Also called calibrated altitude. ii. A mathematical computation of the correct celestial altitude of a body at a specific geographic position, for a given date and time.… …
9rectified altitude — The sextant altitude corrected only for inaccuracies in the reference level (dip, Coriolis) and reading (index, instrument, and personal) …
