Altimeter 3066
"M" wrote in message oups.com... I can hardly see how it should affect VFR flights. Well pattern altitudes might be one problem. How about easterly/westerly odd/even +500 altitudes? John Severyn @KLVK

Altimeter 3066
So everybody fly their pattern 100 ft higher than normal. Big deal. As long as everyone all max out their Kollsman's window at 3100 in the same vacinity, even/odd +500 altitude would be just fine. You still have the same vertical separation. Plus, VFR is see and avoid. even/odd +500 altitude doesn't really do much separation when someone flying magnetic course 001 converge with someone flying course magnetic 179, all legally at odd+500 VFR altitude and only 2 degree off from a head-on.

So you're a couple hundred feet off, that's no big deal. As for pattern altitudes I always use 1000 agl, plus or minus depending on how I round the field elevation.
