Meteorological denotations
ISA – International Standard Atmosphere.
ISA assumptions:
- The air is a dry perfect gas
- The temperature at sea level is 15
°
C / 59°F,
- The pressure at sea level is 1013.25 hPa,
- The drop in the temperature is 3.25
°
C per each 500 m of altitude
(3.564°F for each 1000 ft) in the range from sea l evel up to the
altitude,
at
which
the
temperature
is
–56.5
°
C / -70°F .
OAT – Outside Air Temperature. This is the temperature of the static air,
read from the thermometer, or received from the ground meteorological
service, with instrument error and air compressibility effect corrected.
Pressure altitude – This is the altitude read from the altimeter, preset to
the standard pressure at the average sea level (1013 hPa).
Denotation of power and rating
Take-off power – Maximum power.
Maximum continuous power – Maximum power permitted for the
whole flight.
Engine failure – any engine malfunction, engine stop included.
