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 your true airspeed.

Flying to Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture took us over high terrain, choosing our fuel stops with density altitude in mind. On one trip home, we had a 50-knot headwind, really annoying at a true airspeed of only 125. With this airplane, DA presented a caution, but never really a threat.

However, at 5:36:23 he still had an altitude of 7025 ft MSL, i.e. a normally very “safe” pattern altitude of almost 1500 ft, and prudently began to head toward the east end of the runway. 65 kts IAS given the high density altitude. How Does It Feel in the Cockpit When We Encounter A Microburst?
