2.
Enter the altitude indicated on the
aircraft’s altimeter (Ind:) to the
nearest hundred feet by using the
right inner knob to select the
desired value (figure 4-66).
3.
Use the right outer knob to move
the cursor to the Baro: field, and
then use the right inner knob to
enter the current altimeter setting
(figure 4-67). The pressure alti-
tude (Prs) is now displayed.
NOTE: The altimeter baro set units may be changed between inch-
es, millibars and hectopascals on the SET 8 page (see section 3.15).

THE CALCULATOR 4 (CAL 4) PAGE
The CAL 4 page is used to determine density altitude
To calculate the density altitude:
1.
Turn on the cursor (
B
).
2.
The pressure altitude (Prs:) displayed will be either the last
entered pressure altitude on this page, or the last calculated
pressure altitude from the CAL 3
page. If you desire to change it,
enter the current pressure alti-
tude to the nearest hundred feet
by using the right inner knob
(figure 4-68).
3.
Use the right outer knob to move
the cursor to the first Temp: field,
and then use the right inner and
outer knobs to enter the outside
air temperature (degrees Celsius)
(figure 4-69). The first digit of the
temperature is either “0” if the temperature is above zero or “-” if
the temperature is below zero. For maximum accuracy, the static
air temperature should be entered. This is the temperature of air
without the effect of heating due to the aircraft’s movement
through the air. For the airspeeds of most piston aircraft, the dif-
ference between static air temperature and the observed air
temperature (or “total air temperature”) is negligible. The density
altitude (Den) is now displayed.
