Pressure numbers transposed on ATIS.

Badger · Feb 28, 2015

Atis stated pressure at 30.36. Actual pressure was 30.63
Altimeters were off. What a potential mess.

Oops, what's 300' between friends right :goofy:

That would be a interesting ILS ride to mins

I could be wrong, but I think in this case the mistake was on the safe side.

What's a few hundred feet amongst friends. ATC would probably give you the current alt setting ,before clearing you on an approach.

And no pilots said anything about the ATIS setting being that much different from the TRACON's? Oy. YGBSTABOR.
