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.
