Rather than adjusting the measured altitude (displayed as uncompensated barometric altitude on the
altimeter), temperature compensation is applied to each published approach waypoint altitude shown in the
active flight plan. This includes approach waypoints in the initial, intermediate, final, and missed approach
segments. When the altimeter reaches the barometric altitude displayed in the active flight plan for the
waypoint, this geopotential altitude is the original published MSL altitude for the waypoint.
Only published approach waypoint altitudes shown on the active flight plan are temperature
compensated. No altitude outside a published approach procedure, no user entered altitude, and
no altitude shown as a flight level is temperature compensated.
