Instrument used in aircraft that measures altitude, or height above sea level. The common type is a form of aneroid barometer, which works by sensing the differences in air pressure at different altitudes. This must continually be recalibrated because of the change in air pressure with changing weather conditions. The radar altimeter measures the h...
