![]() ![]() The concept of 'density altitude' is kind of like the concept of 'wind chill'. ![]() So in short, each source explains Density Altitude in their own manner, some contradict the other which confuse me. The relationship between temperature, altitude and air density can be represented as density altitude. On another wikipedia article I found this:ĭe relatie tussen temperatuur, hoogte en luchtdichtheid kan worden The air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the This explanation contradicts with the Wikipedia explanation: The Density Altitude would also be 8000 ft.ĭensity altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature. The altitude in the ISA would be 8000 ft. So, let's say I'm flying in an aircraft, the pressure is "22.22 Hg", and the outside air temperature is -0.9☌. In the ISA the density altitude is equal to the pressure altitude. In de ISA is de dichtheidshoogte altijd gelijk aan de drukhoogte My instruction book (Aerodynamica, prestatieleer en vliegtuigtechniek by Bas Vrijhof on page 112, written in Dutch) claims this: So if I would believe Wikipedia then I could look at the ISA table to find the altitude by using the pressure. In other words, the densityĪltitude is the air density given as a height above mean sea level.". The density altitude is the altitude relative to standard atmosphericĬonditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicatedĪir density at the place of observation. ![]() One source explained it differently then the other which confused me. So I have read the explanations in my instruction book, and online articles. I'm trying to get a deep understanding of the term: Density Altitude. ![]()
