 I don't know if you can see my altimeter but it reads 2,500 ft on the
 crosswind entry to my airfield (Y47). The airport altitude is 920 ft.  The
altimeter then climbs a couple of hundred feet as I slow to put  the gear down
while turning downwind.
 
 You can also see the VSI and it reads 1,500 fpm for the whole ride  down. I
am using about 35° of flap. The final approach sure does look  shallow but the
VSI stays at 1,500 fpm until short final.
 
 I have an Aero Composites carbon fiber prop.
