A
5000m
B

(the chart shows 23degrees at 7 000ft)
(ISA temp lapse rate, a temp correction of 120 feet/degree C and pressure lapse rate of 27 feet/ hPa)
A
9500 feet
B
10000 feet
C
7300 feet
D
9200 feet
E
4400 feet

These charts have a note on them that states: “BOXES REFER TO SPOT WINDS DEGREES TRUE AND KNOTS AT INTERSECTIONS OF THE LAT/LONG LINES COVERED BY THE BOX, TEMPERATURES DEGREES C, HEIGHTS ABOVE MSL (THOUSANDS OF FEET)”.
Step 1: Apply a pressure correction to get Pressure Altitude:
QNH = 1025
1025 - 1013 = 12 x 27 = 324ft
7000 - 324 = 6676 ft
Step 2. Apply the temperature correction:
ISA at 6676ft = 1.648°C
Our temperature = 23°C
23 - 1.648 = 21 degrees ISA deviation
21 x 120 = 2520 ft
Step 3: Calculate the density altitude:
Pressure Altitude + Temperature Correction = Density Altitude
6676 + 2520 = 9196 ft
Closest answer is 9200ft
