Summer is almost upon us. Many of those desirable destinations will take us into high temperatures and/or high altitudes. A proper understanding of the theory and application of density altitude concepts is required to maintain safe and efficient operations.
Topics covered will include:
* Definition of density altitude
* Calculation of density altitude
* Humidity effects
* Effects of density altitude on aircraft power and performance
* Why the same indicated airspeed (and therefore drag) requires more power at high density altitude than it does at sea level
* Why density altitude increases landing distance as well as takeoff distance
* Why the climb performance of a turbo-charged aircraft still suffers from density altitude...even when the turbo is able to hold sea level manifold pressure
* Good operational practices to employ when planning and executing operations in high density altitude conditions.
This is a uniquely comprehensive treatment of the density altitude issue.
Space is Limited--Please Reserve Here Online or contact Richard Mend by TELEPHONE @ (818) 636-1021 or Email - mendaviation@sbcglobal.net for reservations.
And, in the event your plans change after you've made reservations, please don't forget to call, or send a quick email informing us. Thank you, we appreciate your participation. Reservations can also be canceled on your FAASAFETY.GOV "My Seminars" page.
NOTE: As a reminder; Pilot Airspace Deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system. To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on www.faasafety.gov. Or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions. Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness, and have a plan to keep it that way.
Thanks! A message from your local FAASTeam.
