FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft onboard equipment. In compliance with this invention the standard electromechanical barometric altimeter comprises the following extra components: correction computer, processing and signaling assemblies and correction input electronic assy. The latter is connected with computer and consists of airfield barometric pressure (Pa) and transition echelon height (Ae) setters. Computer processes data on operating and calculated altitudes loaded into its memory and on flight current altitude loaded by pilot. Computers correction magnitude and loads it at both takeoff and landing approach. Note here that pilot loads Pa and Ae to barometric altimeter in advance, for example, 30-40 minutes before takeoff or landing. Thereafter, this device operates automatically to indicate the flight altitude reduced to either Pa or standard barometric pressure to pilot (onboard consuming hardware). Output info is backed up by light signalling.
EFFECT: higher flight safety.
