What Is Air Density? A Simple Guide for Pilots

These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. This means that if you encounter these conditions on a particular day, you would need to achieve a higher true airspeed to produce the same lift that would be generated at lower airspeeds in denser air. Air density is fundamental in aviation.

Static Air Temperature (SAT) – This is the temperature of the undisturbed air around the aircraft; also referred to as outside air temperature (OAT). TAT probe data is used for calculating Mach number and true airspeed which are critical for cruise flight and navigation.
