## Description

You can stop manually calculating barometric adjustments during flight planning. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to handle the specific math required for pressure altitude and elevation corrections. Whether you are working with local altimeter settings or standard datum pressure, your agent can perform these calculations instantly. It handles the heavy lifting of normalizing pressure units, so you don't have to worry about converting between Hectopascals and Inches of Mercury before asking for a result. It also includes safety checks to ensure your pressure inputs stay within standard operational ranges. This makes it a reliable way to get quick, accurate data for altitude-related tasks directly within your existing AI workflow.

## Tools

### calculate_elevation_adjustment
This tool adjusts a known elevation to find the altitude relative to a specific pressure setting.

### calculate_pressure_altitude
Use this to find pressure altitude by comparing local altimeter settings against standard pressure datum.

### convert_pressure_units
This tool normalizes different pressure measurement systems into a single target unit for your calculations.

### validate_pressure_inputs
This utility checks that your provided pressure settings and units fall within safe aviation operational ranges.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pressure altitude for an altimeter setting of 1012 hPa with a standard pressure of 1013.25 hPa.
```

**Response:** 
```
The pressure altitude is -120 feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Adjust an elevation of 5000 feet using an altimeter setting of 29.92 inHg and a standard pressure of 29.92 inHg.
```

**Response:** 
```
The adjusted elevation is 5000 feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a pressure of 1050 hPa within safe aviation limits?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, 1050 hPa is within the standard operational range.
```
