For pilots, understanding air density isn’t just about physics; its about safety and efficiency in every flight. Pilots calculate density altitude to assess and compensate for changes in air density. Whereas for the same airfield on a different day, if it were 30C (86F), that same obstacle clearance height would take 1880ft.
