1. an aircraft flying at 3500ft will experience a different pressure to that of an aircraft on the apron

  • the aircraft at 3500ft will experience a lower pressure when flying at speeds in which the compressibility of air is insignificant
  • the aircraft at 3500ft will experience a higher pressure
  • the aircraft at 3500ft will experience a lower pressure than the other aircraft
  • the aircraft flying at 3500ft will experience a lower pressure when flying in a region of low pressure and higher when in a region of high pressure
