  this in mind. Thorough ground training should cover all aspects of high/medium altitude flight, including the flight environment, weather, flight planning and navigation, physiological aspects of high-altitude flight, oxygen and pressurization system operation, and high-altitude emergencies. Flight training ... high degree of proficiency in performing all flight maneuvers and in-flight emergency procedures. The training outline below covers information used by pilots to operate safely at high altitudes…

  Altimeter. A flight instrument that indicates altitude by sensing pressure changes. Altitude (AGL). The actual height above ground level (AGL) at which the aircraft is flying. Altitude (MSL). The actual height above mean sea level (MSL) at which the aircraft ... high altitude conditions by reducing the interior pressure. The occupants will suffer from the same physiological conditions as flight at high altitude in an unpressurized aircraft. Altitude engine. A reciprocating aircraft engine having a rated takeoff power that is producible…
