An area of indeterminate pressure between two lows and two highs is called:

1

An aircraft is flying at 3000 feet indicated with the altimeter sub scale set
to 1020 mb towards a mountain range with an elevation of 1600 feet. If during the flight the QNH in the area falls to 989 mb and the altimeter sub scale is not reset, the expected clearance over the mountain range will be: (assume 27 feet =1 mb)

1

The altimeter subscale is set to 1030 mbs and the altimeter reads 4500’. QNH is
996 mb. What is the altitude of the aircraft? (Assume 1mb =27’):

If in the southern hemisphere an aircraft in flight at 2000 ft is experiencing
starboard drift, the aircraft is flying towards:
