Virtual Altimeter Setting Calculator
This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This calculator is designed to give a calculated altimeter setting based on data entered. The altimeter setting is the same as the barometric pressure; this is not the absolute or station pressure. The altitude can be found on topographical maps or by calling a local airport for verification. Enter the altitude (elevation) of the station in question. Then, enter the station pressure (absolute). The absolute air pressure is the calculated air pressure, but not corrected for altitude. It is also called the station pressure in weather reports from NOAA. Here is the current Weather.Com aviation weather. Be sure to click on the proper designation if using measurements other than standard in the United States. Click on Calculate and the corrected and calculated altimeter setting will be returned.
