6 An aircraft is flying over the Alps on a warm summer's day. The weather is fine, and
there is a high pressure system in the area. During the flight, a mountain is passed at
an altitude of its summit. What reading will the aneroid altimeter give, compared to the
summit's elevation?
A higher altitude than the elevation of the summit
The same altitude as the elevation of the summit
There is insufficient information to come to a conclusion
A lower altitude than the elevation of the summit
