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.

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. Yes, this is a measure of the temperature at which the water vapor held within the air will condense and form a cloud.
