What is Pressure Altitude? Helicopter Online Ground School Training Videos

Hello, I'm Kenny Keller, the creator of Helicopter Online Ground School and author of the Amazon bestseller Helicopter Checkride. And what I want to talk about is pressure altitude. What is pressure altitude? Pressure altitude is what we get when we dial 29.92 in the Colzman window. Most all of us have trouble with this private level, commercial level, CFI I work with add on pilots. They come back and you ask them, what's pressure altitude? What's density altitude? Everybody gets them screwed up. So what is pressure altitude? It's what you get when you dial 29.92 in your Colesman window. A lot of people say, what is the Colzman window? Colesman window is that small window there you see on the face of the altimeter. So we have 29.92 approximately dialed in that window. So our pressure altitude is about 800ft. So why do we care? We care because the aircraft's going to operate at the pressure altitude. We need the pressure altitude to work our performance chart. So if you remember pressure altitude definition, it's what you get when you dial 29.92 in the Coltzmann window. And what you read directly from your altimeter is your pressure out.
