How do you use a density altitude chart?
Density altitude chart
1Find the outside air temperature on the bottom temperature scale.
2) Draw a line straight up until you reach the diagonal line that corresponds to the current pressure altitude.
3) From that spot on the line, draw a line directly left and read the density altitude off the vertical scale..
How do you use the Koch chart?
Koch chart
Connect the current temperature with the pressure altitude.
Then read off where the line intersects the interior graph.
Take the left number and increase your takeoff distance by that percentage.
Increase your climb rate by the right number..
What is a Koch chart?
The Koch chart is a nomogram that quickly estimates the increase in your takefoff distance and the decrease in rate of climb..

What is the FAA density altitude Koch chart?
The Koch Chart connects an airport's pressure altitude with an airport's temperature to calculate decreased rated of climb and increased takeoff distance percentages.
You can find these in the FAA's Density Altitude pamphlet..
Where can you normally find the performance charts for your airplane?
The performance or operational information section of the Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot's Operating Handbook (AFM/ POH) contains the operating data for the aircraft; that is, the data pertaining to takeoff, climb, range, endurance, descent, and landing..
Why is density altitude important?
Density altitude is an indicator of aircraft performance and should be calculated before any flight.
Why is knowing density altitude important? Because high density altitude has a detrimental impact on aircraft performance.
It reduces lift and impairs propeller efficiency, reducing thrust as a result..

3) From that spot on the line, draw a line directly left and read the density altitude off the vertical scale.
A “high” density altitude means that air density is reduced, which has an adverse impact on aircraft performance.
The published performance criteria in the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) are generally based on standard atmospheric conditions at sea level (that is, 59 oF or 15 oC. and 29.92 inches of mercury).
Calculating Density Altitude Using the Density Altitude Formula.
You can calculate density altitude using the following density altitude formula: Density Altitude in Feet = Pressure Altitude in Feet + (120 x (OAT\xb0C – ISA Temperature \xb0C))
The Koch Chart connects an airport's pressure altitude with an airport's temperature to calculate decreased rated of climb and increased takeoff distance percentages.
You can find these in the FAA's Density Altitude pamphlet.
The rule of thumb for calculating density altitude is to add 120 feet to the pressure altitude for each degree above standard temperature.
Your vref does not depend on density altitude since it is given in Indicated Airspeed, which already accounts for density effects.
However, the True Airspeed and therefore also Groundspeed will be higher at a higher density altitude, resulting in more runway required to stop.

Koch Chart To find the effect of altitude and temperature, connect the temperature and airport altitude by a straight line. Read the increase in takeoff distance and the decrease in rate of climb from standard sea level values.

The Koch Chart connects an airport's pressure altitude with an airport's temperature to calculate decreased rated of climb and increased takeoff distance percentages. You can find these in the FAA's Density Altitude pamphlet.

The Koch Chart connects an airport's pressure altitude with an airport's temperature to calculate decreased rated of climb and increased takeoff distance percentages.

The Koch chart is a nomogram that quickly estimates the increase in your takefoff distance and the decrease in rate of climb.

E6b

An E6B can used to calculate many difficult parameters, but calculating density altitude isn't complicated. Simply slide the pressure altitude under the temperature in the left window and read density altitude off the center window.

Koch Chart

This handy chart will require a straight edge. Connect the current temperature with the pressure altitude. Then read off where the line intersects the interior graph. Take the left number and increase your takeoff distance by that percentage. Increase your climb rate by the right number.

Mathematically

Density altitude = pressure altitude + 120 X ([current temperature in degrees Celcius -standard temperature]) Assume a pressure altitude of 3,000 feet and a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius 3,000 + (120 X [30-9]) 3,000 + (120 X 21) 3,000 + 2,520 Density altitude = 5,520
