Barometric Pressure Pressure decreases at a rate of 1″ Hg per 1,000′ of altitude gain. The standard pressure at sea level is 29.92″ Hg. Pressure Altitude Pressure altitude can be determined by: Example: If the altimeter setting is above 29.92″ Hg, pressure altitude is lower than field elevation. Density Altitude A normally aspirated engine produces […]
