Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 4R7 in summer?

On a typical August afternoon — around 93 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Eunice reaches roughly 2,222 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 4R7 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −536 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,600 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 42 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Eunice?

42 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 4R7 (FAA), in Eunice, Louisiana.
