Can I test on a plane with my meter? Will the altitude affect my meter?
Yes, you can test on a plane. The altitude of the plane will not prevent you from testing accurately. Although jet aircraft typically fly at an altitude of 30,000 to 39,000 feet, their jet cabins are pressurized to an equivalent barometric pressure of not more than 8,000 feet.
