WinPilot

[AK]

I would like to know what for does WinPilot use pressure altitude?
>From what I read GPS altitude is much more accurate for final glides
so what else is there that pressure altitude is good for? I browsed
through the manual but I could not see any references.

1. PA is still the standard for altitude in the US for airspace.
2. PA is still used for the start and finsh cylinders/lines in the US.
3. PA is still used as the standard for FAI altitude records and
badges.

So at this point we are still using PA for many things.
