The pressure altitude of the airport on a particular day can be determined

  1. Read the height of the altimeter driven 1013.2hPa, and then we correct it, because it reads the ambient temperature
  2. Achieving greater thrust to the ground - this effect disappears at a height approximately equal to the span of the aircraft
  3. By reading the amount indicated by the altimeter set to 1013.2 hPaCorrect answer
  4. Better observations of the environment by the pilot because of the wider field of view close to the ground

Explanation

Pressure Altitude is the altitude in the Standard Atmosphere corresponding to the sensed pressure.
