Tampa’s altimeter is 30.14.” It seems like the most likely explanation here is that the pilots hadn’t set their altimeter correctly. For those not familiar with the altimeter, this is the instrument that measures the altitude a plane is at. So if you don’t have the altimeter set correctly, it will show the wrong altitude.
