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
--------------
PA = 5000 - (28.85 - 29.92)*1000
= 5000 + 1070
= 6070
---------------
PA is not relevant, except that it affects DA, density altitude, which affects aircraft performance.
======
DA = PA corrected for temperature
