Density Altitude at Triple R (0C1)

Triple R sits at 1,007 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (88 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 3,110 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 0C1 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 88 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Triple R reaches roughly 3,110 ft at standard pressure. Hotter-than-normal days, low pressure, and humidity all push it higher, so run the day's actual numbers before flying.

What is the density altitude at 0C1 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −771 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 2,487 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 1,007 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Triple R?

1,007 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 0C1 (FAA), in Dearborn, Missouri.
