To calculate pressure altitude, first get the current altimeter setting from a verified weather source. Check the current METAR online or listen to the ASOS, AWOS, or ATIS frequency at your airport.

While indicated altitude is used to calculate true altitude, it is also true the two altitudes can be the same in a rare scenario. If the local barometric pressure is 29.92 inHg, then indicated ...

Is there a plug and chug way to do it if I know my barometric pressure, temp, and altitude? I need to get it everyday before I have a flying lesson. I hate using that round slide-rule flight ...

But new devices can calculate your altitude. November 19, 2014 New devices are able to determine not only what building you and your phone are in but also which floor you’re on.

No, that’s still just an atmospheric pressure display. You cannot calculate altitude based on just sea level pressure; you need the current sea level pressure.

I'm not saying you should lift yourself up into the air with helium, but if you did, you'd need to take pressure, density, and a few other things into account.

Despite what extraordinarily overpowered quadcopters suggest, the air pressure of whatever a flying machine flys at is extremely important. Pressure is dependent on altitude and temperature, and th… ...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will require more frequent testing of low cabin pressure warning systems on Boeing 737s. The FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive on Thursday, which was ...
