Study Notes
Altitude and Atmospheric Conditions
- Most aviation activity takes place at a typical altitude range, but the exact altitude is not specified.
Gas Laws
- Boyle's Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
Measuring Altitude
- Pressure altitude is measured in units of feet (ft) or meters (m).
Troposphere
- Temperature variation in the troposphere occurs up to an altitude of approximately 36,000 ft (11,000 m).
Density Variation
- Humidity is the main factor affecting the variation of density.
Atmospheric Limits
- The upper limit of the atmosphere where most aviation activity takes place is the tropopause, which is around 36,000 ft (11,000 m) above sea level.
