Density altitude (DA) reduces aircraft performance; it's pressure altitude adjusted for temperature and humidity, and even one of these factors can significantly impact performance. High DA increases ...

We all deal with engines, so we should know about their relationship with air pressure and density. Query any serious bracket racer, and you'll find he's become a virtual closet meteorologist. What is ...

Pressure altitude is altitude with altimeter set to 29.92" Hg, used for aircraft performance charts above 18,000 ft in US/Canada. It equals true altitude on a standard day. Density altitude corrects ...

The Colorado mission flights took place from an airfield situated at 5,800 feet above sea level, with temperatures reaching 36°C (96.8°F) and a takeoff density altitude of 9,500ft. The B23 Energic ...
