Appendix C APPENDIX C. DENSITY ALTITUDE CALCULATION To determine density altitude:

1. Set the aircraft's altimeter to 29.92 inches of Mercury. The altimeter will indicate pressure altitude.

2. Read the outside air temperature.

3. Mark the intersection of pressure altitude (horizontal) and temperature (vertical) lines on the chart.

4. Read the density altitude from the diagonal lines.
