I also want to thank you for this video. The slow explanations made a ton of sense along with the visuals. I was able to explain this to my wife afterwards when before I was really struggling to truly understand what was happening during that change. Thanks!
THANK YOU FOR GOING SLOWLY AND SHOWING VISUALS. I'M STUDYING FOR MY BIENNIAL AND HAVEN'T FLOWN IN A YEAR AND A HALF AND I WAS NOT GRASPING THIS TRANSITION FROM HOT TO COLD OR LOW TO HIGH AND VICE VERSA!
Thanks so much for the explanation. I’ve struggled to conceptualize the altimeter readings depending on the ambient pressures. Your graphics finally made it click.
I understand why high pressure to low pressure correlates into a higher altitude read in the altimeter, but why does it happen for the decrease in temperature? Aren’t colder temperatures denser and have more pressure?
If you're flying under a Class B shelf, even if it's for a few minutes, switch to their altimeter setting! Don't want to bust into Class B if it could've easily been prevented.
If I'm at my local airport wing field elevation of 12ft in the summer when it's 95 degrees f with a low pressure system of 28.88. Will that make my plane feeling it was at a higher runway equal to density altitude?
You've color coded the low and high pressure with red and blue respectively; does that imply going from high temperature to low temperature also has the same effect? I feel like there is a lot of conflicting information out there, especially considering closed and open systems. AFAIK low pressure zones are associated with high temperatures due to the lower density of hot air however looking this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EQ--Pf1XWl0.html&ab_channel=FlightInsight for example, flying into a pocket of warm air has the opposite effect. Would you mind clarifying this a bit? I.e. in this video, going from high to low pressure means altimeter will read a higher altitude (this makes perfect sense to me given that lower pressure and density is associated with higher altitudes) however I can't get that to align with your video on temperature ("High to Low Look out Below!") given that high temperatures are associated with low pressure. Great video!
