Types of Altitude To fundamentally understand density altitude, you need to understand the five types of altitude used in aviation: Indicated altitude: the altitude read on the altimeter (regardless of altimeter setting) Pressure Altitude: the indicated altitude of the altimeter when it is set to 29.92 A density altitude chart.

Our NIFA team of pilots would travel to other colleges and compete in sanctioned competition involving precise navigation, pre-flight inspections, accuracy landings, and simulated bomb drops into a barrel from 100 AGL feet using bean bags as bombs. Upon level off at 4,000, I was relieved to note the OAT gauge was showing +3 degrees C.
