Multiple Choice
On this day at Mount Hotham Airport the pressure reading is 1030 hPa and the altitude above mean sea level is 4500ft. What is the pressure altitude on this day?
3990ft
3980ft
5010ft
5020ft

91ft
910ft
91 meters
910 meters
7
Fill in the Blanks
Runway 15/33; its length at Amberly Airport is?
Type answer...

To calculate density altitude, one must first calculate the pressure altitude.
True
False
Sometimes
Always

Fill in the Blanks
The pressure at Murray Bridge Airport is 1018 hPa and the temperature is 25 degrees, calculate the density height given that the temperature should be close to 15 degrees on a given day (elevation 180ft AMSL). For each degree difference multiply it by 120ft. You decide whether to add it or subtract it from the pressure altitude calculation.. Work in teams to solve.
Note: temperature is said to decrease by 2 degrees every /1000ft as you climb from sea level up to a higher altitude. What should be the temperature according to ISA at Murray Bridge?
Type answer...
