Given that the weight of pilots keeps going up, I'll bet there are a lot of widebodies flying with IFDs :)

The GPS altitude is adjusted by that amount. While still important, in small aircraft it's not all that significant since you're probably looking at around 5 or 6 feet. For a 747, it's much more significant at probably 40 or 50 feet.

What is the significance of the GPS antenna height setting in the IFD settings? Curious what issues might be seen if it is set incorrectly.
Thanks, -Scott |
