However, with no room to navigate up the steep glacial valley, the pilots finessed the airplane over the hurdle with no more than 200 ft of clearance. Because density and pressure are directly related, and pressure is easier to measure, we can use pressure altimeters to determine our altitude. inches of mercury (1013.25

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude.
