Density Altitude at Lagrange/Callaway (KLGC)

Lagrange/Callaway sits at 694 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (91 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 2,875 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at KLGC in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 91 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Lagrange/Callaway reaches roughly 2,875 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 KLGC on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −51 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 2,204 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 694 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Lagrange/Callaway?

694 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is KLGC (ICAO) / LGC (FAA), in Lagrange, Georgia.
