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.
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 never trust such programs, am I the only one?
If you work from a principle of nothing is free, you will not go far wrong.
Most things you download will be after something.

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
