Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 4G2 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 78 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Hamburg reaches roughly 2,186 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 4G2 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −1,538 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,509 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 751 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.
