What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance? Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. What true airspeed should a pilot expect at 9,000 feet on a standard day with 65 percent maximum continuous power? 1,300-foot increase.

You can also use it for unit conversions, estimating wind correction angles, and figuring out density altitude. Using the Air Density Windows and the Baseplate The disk also features cut-out windows designed for air density-related calculations. If youre in the aircraft, set the altimeter to 29.92 Thats not all.

Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. Start by calculating the pressure altitude.
