I think I know the answer to this question but I wanted to make sure. The way I understand it, the RA is located in the Center belly region under the fuselage and is calibrated to measure zero based off the height of the landing gear. So, when I hear “10”, that indicates the gear are 10 feet above the ground, not the belly. As I’m judging height on final approach, I wanted to make sure that I should hearing “50” as I cross the threshold and that the gear is actually at 50 feet and not some other point on the aircraft. (I.e.- In a CRJ 900 the gear is significantly lower than my position in the cockpit). Thanks for any insight.
