Density Altitude at Ouzinkie (PAAE)

Ouzinkie sits at 100 ft, and even a typical August afternoon (61 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 240 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at PAAE in summer?

On a typical August afternoon — around 61 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Ouzinkie reaches roughly 240 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 PAAE on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −1,821 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about −163 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 100 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Ouzinkie?

100 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is PAAE (ICAO) / 4K5 (FAA), in Ouzinkie, Alaska.
