How high does density altitude get at X05 in summer?

On a typical August afternoon — around 91 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Pilot Country reaches roughly 2,140 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 X05 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly 18 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,559 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 80 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Pilot Country?

80 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is X05 (FAA), in Brooksville, Florida.
