What Does BAI Stand For?
BAI stands for Barometric Altitude Indicator
BAI, or Barometric Altitude Indicator, is an instrument used in aviation to measure the altitude of an aircraft above sea level. It operates by comparing the atmospheric pressure outside the aircraft to a standard reference pressure, allowing pilots to determine their altitude during flight. The BAI is essential for navigation and safety, providing crucial altitude data necessary for maintaining proper flight levels and preventing potential collisions. Its accuracy can be affected by changes in weather conditions and must be calibrated regularly to ensure reliable readings.
