Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at N14 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 87 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Flying W reaches roughly 1,863 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 N14 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −1,702 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,214 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 49 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Flying W?

49 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is N14 (FAA), in Lumberton, New Jersey.
