To: null and void

Lets see... I went from 38,000 feet to the ground. I’m below the clouds now instead of above them.... If I look out the window the ground sure seems closer..... Someone has me on radar somewhere and has probably called to ask why I’m not at 38000 feet? Is the altimeter a piece of software on an airbus? Of course if I’m asleep I’m clueless. OR if some terrorist has cut my throat there is not much I can do then either.

Google says the altimeter on an A320 airbus is a good old fashioned dial.

Good points. But they didn’t crash onto level ground. Do you happen to know the altitude of the cliff they ended on, and the cloud ceiling?

2 digital and 1 analog. Not only that, there are at least 3 other systems that would start alerting long before impact with the terrain.
