Pressure Altitude compares air pressure at any given altitude to standard pressure. Let’s start with a quick review of air pressure. Air pressure is simply the weight of air pushing down on us.
If the regional QNH is 1013.25 hPa, then Flight Level One-Eight-Zero (FL180) will be right at 18,000 feet of altitude. FL200 will be right at 20,000 feet of altitude. However, if there is a low pressure system then FL200 could be all the way down at 18,000 feet.
Interactive atmospheric pressure map. ICON and GFS models. Shows global forecasted mean sea-level pressure.
Flight level and standard pressure. A Flight Level (FL) is the vertical distance of an aircraft above the ISOBARIC SURFACE of 1013.25hPa (hecto Pascal) or 29.92 in Hg (inches of Mercury). An ISOBARIC SURFACE is the invisible landscape that connects all points with the same atmospheric pressure.
The type of activity is indicated by the letter in parentheses “(T)” where “T” indicates flight training. Others are acrobatics (A), test flight areas (F), military training (M), hang gliding (H), parachuting (P), and soaring by gliders (S).
6 paź 2023 · Considering the severe consequences of getting it wrong, understanding pressure altitude is critical to your flight’s safety. In this article, we’ll explain what pressure altitude is, how to calculate and use it, and how it fits in with the other types of altitude, like density altitude.
