The crew refers to that instrument as the "altimeter". It may indicate your actual,
physical distance above the ground.
Or it may indicate your altitude above sea-level, which can be somewhat risky ...
that type of altimeter may read 5,000 feet, which is fine unless you're flying in fog
and there's a 5,010-foot mountain ahead.

What weather instrument measures wind?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
What instrument is mass measured by?
Mass is measured against a standard by using an instrument called a balance.
What instrument measured heat?
A calorimeter measures heat. In contrast, a thermometer measures temperature.A thermometer bolometer - an instrument that measures heat radiation; extremely sensitive calorimeter - a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heatHeat is measured with a ThermometerThermometerThermometer or calorimeterThermometerthermometerHeat is measured with a thermometer.
By which instrument bp is measured?
It is a "sphygmomanometer." I'm not joking.
Instantaneous speed is measured how?
Instantaneous speed cannot be measured because it is a theoretical construct. It is the speed that an object has at one particular moment, but measuring the speed of an object necessarily involves several moments so you can only measure the speed over some finite amount of time.
How is the speed of an aircraft measured?
the speed is measured by using primary flight instrument...this instrument have air speed indicator by which v cn measure d speed of airplane..
What is the speed of an airplane measured in?
its measured in Knots

What instrument is used to measure the speed of an airplane?
The speed of an airplane is measured by a system known as the pitot-static system which compares the difference between the static air pressure that exists around the aircraft and the dynamic, or ram air pressure which is a function of the speed the aircraft is moving through the air. The devices used to gather this information are the static air port (which measures static air pressure) and the pitot tube (which measures ram air pressure). This differential is displayed on an instrument in the cockpit called an airspeed indicator (or ASI).
