Question 3

What is ICAO

Answer 3

Question 4

What is ISA?

Answer 4

ICAO Standard Atmosphere (Density Altitue = 10.000 feet)

Question 5

What is QFE?

Answer 5

Quick Fix Engineering (Reglage de l’altimetre en prenant en referance la pression au sol sur l’aerodrome)

Question 6

How to calculate density altitude?

Answer 6

Altitude Density = Pression Altitude +/- (Isa Deviation x 120)
Altitue Pressure = 1013 - QFE = Chiffre HpA. Sachant que 1hpa/30feet. on multiplie et ça donne la pression altitude de l’aerodrome.
ISA deviation = Actual temperature - ISA temperature at AD altitude pressure.
ISA temp at sea level: 15degré
2°temp decrease every 1000 feet increase.
