Finding Density Altitude

Post by BearWhoTalks »

I don’t know if this is of interest but I was looking for information on density altitude and came across this site. I tried it by using the weather at the Naval Air Station here and it gave me the density altitude that I could enter in to the FMS or use it performance charts, etc.

Density altitude for FMS entries would false it as the computer is working to get actually this density altitude, with the ADCs.

FMS entries are Pressure altitudes.
