your airfield is at 5000 feet and the pressure reading corrected to slp is 28.85 in. of Hg. what is the airport pressure altitude in feet
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "PA = 5000 - (28.85 - 29.92)*1000
\n" ); document.write( "= 5000 + 1070
\n" ); document.write( "= 6070
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "PA is not relevant, except that it affects DA, density altitude, which affects aircraft performance.
\n" ); document.write( "======
\n" ); document.write( "DA = PA corrected for temperature
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
