View your corrected barometric altitude based on raw pressure readings and nearby METAR data from internet or FIS-B weather broadcasts. Tap any slot in ForeFlight’s Instrument Panel and select Baro Altitude to add the new instrument. Related instruments include: Cabin Pressure, Pressure Altitude, and Nearest Baro.

This instrument will only use barometric pressure data from a reliable source (portable receivers, panel avionics, etc.), not from built-in barometers on iPads or iPhones.

Release notes

View your corrected barometric altitude based on raw pressure readings and nearby METAR data from internet or FIS-B weather broadcasts.
Tap on any slot in ForeFlight’s Instrument Panel to view all available instruments, then select Baro Altitude to view your corrected pressure altitude.
The Cabin Pressure instrument just above it displays the uncorrected pressure altitude, and the Nearest Baro instrument further down displays the current baro setting and the identifier of the airport from which it was received.
When baro-corrected pressure altitude is available, the altitude tape in ForeFlight’s attitude indicator (Synthetic Vision) displays this rather than GPS altitude, and indicates the current baro setting at the bottom of the tape.
