AERONAUTICAL FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Methodologies, reference materials, and Pilot-in-Command considerations.

Aeroway implements standard-atmosphere mathematical models based on ICAO Doc 7488/3 (Manual of the ICAO Standard Atmosphere) and the 1976 US Standard Atmosphere, using the stated sea-level constants and lapse-rate assumptions. Sea level constants are set to 15.0°C (288.15 K), 1013.25 hPa (29.92126 inHg), and standard air density of 1.225 kg/m³. The tropospheric lapse rate is evaluated at -6.5°C per 1,000 m (-1.9812°C per 1,000 ft) up to the 11,000 m tropopause.
