Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 3R4 in summer?

On a typical August afternoon — around 92 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Hart reaches roughly 2,492 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 3R4 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −408 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,864 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 319 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Hart?

319 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 3R4 (FAA), in Many, Louisiana.
