Table IV, Meters to Feet Conversion
Table IV is provided for conversion of meters to feet. The table gives the equivalents in feet and ten thousandths
of a foot for each unit from 1 to 50 meters so that values in hundredths of a foot can be obtained from 1 to 5,000 meters by
moving the decimal point. For example, to convert 4,205 meters to feet
4,200 meters = 13,779.50 feet
5 meters =
16.40 feet
4,205 meters = 13,795.90 feet

Individual Instrument Temperature Correction
The instrument correction chart gives corrections above or below 75 F. The temperature correction curve is
drawn individually for each instrument and is attached to the chart mounting plate (fig. 15). The altimeter indication may
change if the instrument temperature differs from the 750 F. at which the instrument was calibrated even though the
atmospheric pressure remains constant. When maximum accuracy is required the instrument temperature correction
should be applied to the altimeter reading as follows:
a. If the instrument temperature differs from the temperature at which it was calibrated (76 F.), correct the
instrument reading by means of the chart in the lid. Find the altimeter reading along the bottom line of the chart. Go up in
