3. Read the density altitude over the arrow in

the DENSITY ALTITUDE window.

See Fig-

ure 13.

Figure 13 shows a pressure altitude of 15,000 feet
set opposite an outside air temperature of -15°C. A
calibrated airspeed of 145 knots converts to a true
airspeed of 183 knots and a density altitude of
15,000 feet under these conditions.

Here are some sample problems:
