Aircraft manuals lack humidity correction in density altitude calculations, assuming 0% humidity. Humidity reduces air density, increasing density altitude; an online ...

Altitude and barometric pressure are closely related. As altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases, or stated another way, barometric pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. This is ...

Many pilots have very little experience with mountain flying, so their familiarity with high density altitude is limited as well. [Adobe Stock] In the winter, pilots can get themselves in trouble by ...

Despite what extraordinarily overpowered quadcopters suggest, the air pressure of whatever a flying machine flys at is extremely important. Pressure is dependent on altitude and temperature, and there ...

Is there a plug and chug way to do it if I know my barometric pressure, temp, and altitude? I need to get it everyday before I have a flying lesson. I hate using that round slide-rule flight computer ...

Question: Do airplanes have a hard time taking off in Arizona because of the hot weather? — Submitted by reader Chris Batten, Lilburn, Ga. Answer: I would not say they have a hard time, but ...
