Density Altitude at Merillat (34G)

Merillat sits at 820 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (86 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 2,723 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 34G in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 86 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Merillat reaches roughly 2,723 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 34G on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −1,380 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,886 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 820 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Merillat?

820 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 34G (FAA), in Tecumseh, Michigan.
