Interesting and useful thread for me particularily at the moment. im just gettin to try and work the current pressure altitude for me at the moment, so i can then work out the density altitude. ( by the way, i want to do this via the mathematical calculations, not the flight computer)

I was wondering if i have this worked right- help please!!!

This is the formula i am using to get my Palt;

station elevation (2000ft) + (29.92 - current alt setting 30.92) x 1000

= 19.99

Is this correct?? pls assist

Thanks in advance
