Fahrenheit to Celsius Temperature Conversion.
Convert reported field temperatures at the departure and
destination airports from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the
Fahrenheit to Celsius Temperature Conversion graph
(fig. 7-9). Enter the chart at the appropriate value on
the F scale, read up to the reference line and left to the
corresponding value in C.
Billings-Logan International 59F...................... 15C

c.
Pressure
Altitude.
To
determine
the
approximate pressure altitudes at origin and destination
airports, add 1000 feet to field elevation for each 1.00 in.
Hg that the reported altimeter setting value is below
29.92 in. Hg, and subtract 1000 feet for each 1.00 in.
Hg above 29.92 in. Hg. Always subtract 1000 feet for
each 1.00 in. Hg above 29.92 in. Hg, then multiply the
answer by 1000 to find the
difference in feet between field elevation and pressure
altitude.
Pressure Altitude at BIL:
29.92
-30.07
-0.15
-0.15 x 1000 feet = -150 feet
Field Elevation ............................................. 3649 feet
Pressure Altitude Correction ..........................-150 feet
Field Pressure Altitude ................................. 3499 feet
Pressure Altitude at CPR:
29.92
-29.27
+0.65
0.65 x 1000 feet = 650 feet
Field Elevation ............................................. 5348 feet
Pressure Altitude Correction ......................... +650 feet
Field Pressure Altitude ................................. 5998 feet
d.
Wind Components. Determine the headwind
(tailwind) and crosswind component for the selected
runway. Compute the angle between the reported wind
at Billings-Logan International of 290 and the selected
runway heading of 340 to be 50. Locate the line for
50 angle between wind direction and flight path on the
graph. Trace along the 50 line and locate the reported
wind speed of 15 knots (the point midway between the
10 and 20 knot wind speed lines). Read left to obtain
the headwind component and down to obtain the
crosswind component.
Headwind Component ................................... 10 knots
Crosswind Component .................................. 12 knots
