Mean Atmospheric Conditions - Australian Tropical Operating Conditions

摘要

The ARDU mean tropical atmosphere differs significantly from the ICAO standard atmosphere and is based upon data gathered prior to 1965. More recent data have been considered in a reassessment of the validity of the ARDU atmosphere. The new data support the retention of both the ARDU tropical atmosphere and the ICAO atmosphere to describe mean conditions in their respective regions of application. It is recommended, however, that where extreme operating conditions for the Australian region are required, reference should be made to DEF(AUST) 5168 Part II - Air Operations. (Author)
