Have a look here (takes a while to load).

As well as the long term effect of grinding away parts of the engines it also can have an immediate effect. It can extinguish the fuel burning in the engine.

This happened years ago when a 747 flew through a cloud of volcanic ash. All four engines shut down at well over 30000ft and when they managed to get them going again they were below 5000ft

Is the altimeter to tell you how far below sea level you are at home?

Me? I am about 50cm below NAP - the marker was on the wall but they took it away. Definitely at the foot of the Heuvelrug.
NAP here is -1,50 meter, I win
Yeah I think it goes into negative as well but you can set that as "zero" level.

I'm sure all the other members are thinking NAP...?
I was thinking Qnh, but a little digging reveals this. Not actually that far off.

No Stefan - absolutely not.

If you work from a principle of nothing is free, you will not go far wrong.

Most things you download will be after something.

Not necessarily a bad person, more sad if you get off on killing small animals with weapons.

You were apparently proud of what you did in as much as you chose to post about it.

It's a funny old world. I dislike killing animals, but have no qualms in being involved in killing humans. 35yds would be a bit close but from about 3-5 miles you'd make a nice target.

I appreciate that different compression algorithms produce different sized files and some element of prediction id involved, but to start off with two file sizes, one twice the size of the other and get the same answer seems utterly ridiculous.
