On Sunday flying back into the Chicago area, I was worried about the ORD Bravo. There is an area where Bravo starts at 1900 feet, so because it was bumpy I tried to stay at 1700 feet, but that is a little low for my liking if I am not in a pattern. If you trim for 1800 feet, and for some reason your altimeter may be 75 feet too low, and then you have an updraft which may temporarily put you in Bravo would you recommend asking control to show what your altitude is when you are at 1800 feet to confirm your altimeter is giving the correct reading?
Another question, if you hear you are number 2 for a runway following xyz make of plane, and you see the plane land do you confirm that you are cleared to land? I like doing so, but don't want to be a pain when controllers are busy. I just think its safer.
