A non‐pressurized, single‐engine aircraft departs for a cross‐country flight at 6500 ft. A portion of the route crosses rising terrain with peaks at 5000 ft. The pilot is only concerned with maintaining an indicated altitude of 6500 ft as filed on the visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan.

What other altitudes must the pilot consider along the route of flight? What are the implications of failing to adjust the altimeter setting if the barometric pressure is decreasing along the route? Consider the FAA definition of Maximum Elevation Figure (MEF) on VFR Sectionals and if nonstandard pressure and temperature may impact obstacle clearance.
