Density Altitude Calculator
Density Altitude: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers pressure altitude. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Density Altitude Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering air data.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: pressure altitude, outside air temperature, dew point and altimeter setting.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: DA = PA + 118.8 times (OAT minus ISA temp), or full virtual temperature method with dew point.
Safety note: density altitude errors cause takeoff overrun and climb failure at hot high airports.
