Density Altitude at Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field (KOCF)

Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field sits at 90 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (92 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 2,219 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at KOCF in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 92 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field reaches roughly 2,219 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 KOCF on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly 70 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,609 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 90 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field?

90 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is KOCF (ICAO) / OCF (FAA), in Ocala, Florida.
