Samedan, isn’t that one of the loveliest approaches in winter? Sure brings back fond memories of 20 years ago when flying used to be fun with lots of empty positioning legs in the Falcon.
I read threads like these and thank goodness that I’m a dinosaur who was lucky enough to fly in an era when it was meant to be fun.
Requiring someone to calculate Density Height to a nonsensical level of precision answers more questions about the sanity of the person setting the question than he/she would like.
Out of curiosity, does the ATPL syllabus here now include Altimeter Temperature Error Correction? That’s one area where calculation to a decent level of precision makes sense. I don’t recall learning this in 1971, presumably the esteemed polar navigator at DCA never knew about this either.
