Density Altitude: A Review, Plus Much More There are four important factors that affect air density; Altitude (MSL), Barometric Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity. The effect of these factors varies: Temperature has the most significant influence on DA when compared to other factors. Barometric pressure has the second greatest influence since Pressure Altitude (PA) is greater than field elevation anytime the barometric pressure falls BELOW “Standard Pressure” (29.92). i.e. When the barometric pressure at an air base at 3,000 ft. is 29.2” the PA is 3,673. It is from THIS number that we can begin to calculate the effects of temperature to arrive at a Density Altitude. If we have an aircraft parked at the base, we can determine Pressure Altitude by setting 29.92 into the Kollsman window of the Altimeter. If we do not have an altimeter handy, we can determine the barometric pressure from METARs or by calling one of the 70 Automated Surface Observation Station (ASOS) or Automated Weather Observation Station (AWOS) phone numbers in Washington/Oregon. METARs are the hourly weather reports derived from AWOS and ASOS stations that are found at the NOAA Aviation Weather website: / or in the right margin of any airport’s information at or at /airports/ or /. Sources for AWOS/ASOS phone numbers include: The FAA Airport Facility Directory (AFD) available on line at: /index.asp?xml=aeronav/applications/d_afd or /air_traffic/weather/asos/ A list of AWOS/ASOS frequencies and phone numbers is included at the end of this document. ASOS vs. AWOS: What is the difference? The basic difference between these two automated weather systems is that: --ASOS is a product of a National Weather Service (NWS), Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) joint venture. ASOS is comprised of a standard suite of weather sensors (with several exceptions) all procured from one contractor. --AWOS is a suite of weather sensors of many different configurati
