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.

Pilots use METARs for flight safety, runway selection, and weather planning. The altimeter setting for the aerodrome is 29.93 Pilots love knowing about the wind. Suppose either of these factors exceeds your ability as a pilot or the airframe limits. METARs use abbreviations but become easy to read with practice.

It is intended to be a flying lesson , but only for those pilots who read it with learning as a mindset. Take into consideration that weather reporting, and the dissemination of these reports to pilots, was not as accurate then as it is now. Also, Trial by Ice is not just another flying story.

If you set the altimeter to the standard 29.92, you can read the pressure altitude off of the altimeter. inches of mercury (Hg).
