Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 22D in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 83 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Bandel reaches roughly 3,057 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 22D on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −559 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 2,383 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 1,210 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Bandel?

1,210 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 22D (FAA), in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania.
