GREENLAND DECOMPRESSION ESCAPE ROUTES

Altitudes depicted in the Greenland Escape Route Chart provide a

minimum of 2,500 feet of obstacle clearance provided the altitude flown
is temperature corrected. This provides a sufficient margin for altimeter
errors when using 29.92 (1013.25), as well as for 1,000 feet of obstacle
clearance. Therefore a local area altimeter is not mandatory for this
chart.
