Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 5S4 in summer?

On a typical September afternoon — around 66 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Toledo State reaches roughly 490 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 5S4 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −952 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about −40 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 12 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Toledo State?

12 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 5S4 (FAA), in Toledo, Oregon.
