In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test crew helps you prepare for your Part 107 pilot's test by teaching you how to calculate density altitude. The previous video in this series explained how to calculate pressure altitude, which takes into account the elevation of your aircraft above sea level, as well as the local barometric pressure. Density altitude takes both of those factors into account, but also the local air temperature. Cold air is more dense and warm air is less dense. Using the Density Altitude Chart, you can quantify this effect, to determine the altitude your aircraft “feels” like its flying at, regardless of its actual elevation above sea level.
