Aileron Altimeter True Airspeed

MAY 21, 2025
Pilots must use specific techniques, applying rudder and aileron inputs, to maintain directional control and keep the aircraft aligned. Altimeter errors can also occur due to pressure changes. DC = arctan(TAS/Vc) Where TAS is the True Airspeed. Flying in mountainous regions demands extra caution and specific training.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Subtract the altimeter setting from 29.92, multiply it by 1,000, and add that to the field elevation. Start by calculating the pressure altitude.
