Just to play devil's advocate on this "zero altimeter" thing.........

Here is a scenario.....

Your kid is running in a one mile track race........you want to time
the race.......

The race begins.....you look at your watch....the time is 12:30:
26.010

As your kid crossed the finish line you look again at you
watch...........12:35:49 070

How fast did the kid do the mile?

Now, when my kid starts the race, I had my watch set at 0:00:00.000

At the finish it reads.......5:23.060..........done! no math!

Altimeter is a TOOL.......tool's are for the ease of use of the
user.......My tools work for me, I don't work for my tools. Tools can
be used in different ways for different purposes. *Using MSL on the
altimeter does serve a good purpose for many situations, but not
all........

So what do you do when on a XC flight, not particularly high, and
encounter class D airspace that you'd like to fly over?
