How to Calculate Density Altitude To calculate density altitude, you require two variables: Pressure Altitude Outside Air Temperature (OAT) With these two variables, you can calculate density altitude using the following methods: A flight computer. Lets look at how to use these methods to calculate density altitude. A density altitude chart.

On the ground, the term I generally use for bad orange juice is airplane orange juice, which should give you a sense of my feelings on the matter. However, I do have one favorite airplane juice, and thats Qatar Airways lemon mint juice, which is incredibly refreshing. Thats because its rarely fresh.

Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. People often draw parallels between the airplanes’ appeal and that of lightweight sports cars. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

When flying an airplane, you become a part of the air around you. As a good general rule, the smaller the difference between the outside air temperature (OAT), and the dew point, the more likely it is that a cloud will form, and the lower its base will be. Forget checking your phone apps or the TV. Why is it important in a METAR?

A few years ago, I got the bug to fly small airplanes again. We fly our new-to-us Piper to Florida often (the airplane could probably find Orlando on its own), and we agreed it was time for something more adventurous. Our Aircraft Our family’s airplane is a 1976 Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six.

Density Altitude = Pressure Altitude + [120 x (OAT – Standard Temperature)] For example, the temperature at a pressure altitude of 5,000ft is 7C. Note: OAT and ISA Standard Temperature should be in degrees Celsius. Density Altitude = 5000 + [120 x (7 – 5)] Note: 5 C is the ISA Temp at 5000ft.

The following instruments provide useful information on icing: Outside Air Temperature (OAT) gauge. Instruments onboard can assist you with detecting icing. Most modern aircraft have ice detection systems that will notify you. Pitot heat ammeter (starts drawing more current).
