Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 2F4 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 93 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at T-Bar reaches roughly 5,982 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 2F4 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly 2,757 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 5,244 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 3,126 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of T-Bar?

3,126 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 2F4 (FAA), in Tahoka, Texas.
