Given the following, what is the density altitude?
Pressure altitude: 5500 feet
Static Air Temperature SAT: +33°C
Calculation of Density altitude with Pressure altitude and Temperature
Density altitude is not related with the altitude of the aircraft, it is a measure used for aircraft performance.
Density altitude is the altitude in the ISA atmosphere with corresponds to the density which you are experiencing in the current ambient atmosphere.
Density altitude is not related with the altitude of the aircraft, it is a measure used for aircraft performance.
Density altitude is the altitude in the ISA atmosphere with corresponds to the density which you are experiencing in the current ambient atmosphere.
Density Altitude = Pressure Altitude + (ISA DEV. x 120)
ISA temp. = 15 - 2 x 5.5 = 4ºC
ISA dev. = 29º C
ISA temp. = 15 - 2 x 5.5 = 4ºC
ISA dev. = 29º C
Density Altitude = 5500 + (29 x 120) = 8980 ft
