Altitude & Airspeed Altitude & Airspeed AdjustmentsAdjustments
You can find Density Altitude & True Airspeed
Density Altitude is the pressure altitude corrected for temperature (what the airplane really “feels”)
True Airspeed is the airspeed corrected for altitude and temperature (how fast the airplane is moving through the less dense air)
