Q

Temperature or Pressure changes from High to Low

A

Your altimeter indicates higher then you truly are adjust altimeter frequently and fly at higher altitudes in colder temperatures

Q

Temperature or Pressure changes from Low to High

A

You’re altimeter shows lower then truly are fly at conservative altitude because you’re shown a lower altitude then you truly are frequently change altimeter and adjust altitude for temperature

Q

Calculating density altitude

A

Airport elevation + altimeter setting = pressure altitude

Adjust pressure altitude for outside temperature to get density altitude
