Self-launch from high-altitude airports, not just from Boulder but also after a possible landout at another airport. The density altitude can be several thousand feet higher. In addition, the chargers were too bulky to bring along in the cockpit. Boulder is at 5,300 ft, Salida at 7,500, Leadville at 10,000.

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. and read the altitude shown. Thats not all.

Flying to Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture took us over high terrain, choosing our fuel stops with density altitude in mind. One flight, given instructions to cross whichever end of the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX), things just didn’t seem right in the cockpit.

It’s one thing to understand what density altitude is, but it’s another to be able to explain it in a way that a student can understand and apply correctly. Another major part of the CFI ground training is the knowledge area. Flight instructors have to be familiar with all of the knowledge areas and be able to teach them clearly.
