Q

How to calculate density altitude?

A

Altitude Density = Pression Altitude +/- (Isa Deviation x 120)
Altitue Pressure = 1013 - QFE = Chiffre HpA. Sachant que 1hpa/30feet. on multiplie et ça donne la pression altitude de l’aerodrome.
ISA deviation = Actual temperature - ISA temperature at AD altitude pressure.
ISA temp at sea level: 15degré
2°temp decrease every 1000 feet increase.
