Although density altitude does reduce performance of an aircraft, it doesn't automatically keep you on the ground. [Credit: Shutterstock] A student pilot mistakenly believed any reported density ...

Now that it is officially summer and blazing hot across the U.S., I tested both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS2020) and X-Plane 12 (XP12) for realism and aircraft performance with different hot ...

Despite what extraordinarily overpowered quadcopters suggest, the air pressure of whatever a flying machine flys at is extremely important. Pressure is dependent on altitude and temperature, and there ...

Altitude and barometric pressure are closely related. As altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases, or stated another way, barometric pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. This is ...
