The Density Altitude. Influence Factors and Evaluation

摘要

The paper presents a method to determinate the density altitude with an electronic flight instrument system. A brief review of the flight altitudes is performed, and the calculus relations of the density altitude are developed. The first two atmospheric layers (0÷11 Km and 11÷20 Km) are considered. For different indicated barometric altitudes an evaluation of the density altitude, as a function of non-standards temperature variations and of dew point value, is realized.
