Frequently Asked Questions
Density altitude is the altitude relative to the standard atmosphere conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the place of observation. It is used in aviation to assess aircraft performance.
A common approximation is: DA = PA + 120 × (T - 15 + (DP - 15) × 0.2), where PA is pressure altitude in feet, T is temperature in °F, and DP is dew point in °F.
Higher density altitude reduces aircraft performance, including lift, engine power, and propeller efficiency. Pilots use it to determine takeoff and landing distances.
