Example
Hikers use altimeters to track their ascent and descent in mountainous terrain for navigation and safety.
The pilot checked the altimeter before takeoff to ensure an accurate reading of the aircraft's altitude.
In aviation, the altimeter provides critical information for determining the aircraft's position and adherence to assigned altitudes.
Glider pilots use altimeters to navigate and optimize their flight paths based on changes in elevation and atmospheric conditions.
During the climb, the mountaineers relied on their altimeters to gauge their progress and estimate remaining elevation.
