Explain why a combination of high, hot, and humid conditions creates high density altitude flying conditions.
Module 2 – Focus Topic: Density Altitude (PLG 1) In this activity, focus on the concept of density altitude and its application to the performance of aircraft. Review the following resources on density altitude and its effects on flying: Hot, High, and Heavy-The Deadly Cocktail of Density Altitude (PDF) (Links to an external site.) – […]
Explain why a combination of high, hot, and humid conditions creates high density altitude flying conditions.
Density Altitude Now, synthesize and apply the information you reviewed on the concept of density altitude to address the following: 1. Using terms that an average person could easily understand and by applying related concepts and terms, present a practical definition of density altitude. 2. Fill in the blank: If the value of density altitude […]
