A flying height of a slider of a head assembly is measured by rotating a disk having at least one protrusion protruding higher than a minimum flying height of the head assembly subject to measurement, and cutting an upper end portion of the protrusion with the slider that is floating with respect to the disk. The cut protrusion is measured to determine the flying height of the slider of the head assembly.
