Hi

Easy-VFR calculate the density altitude for every airfield. Could you implement this very useful feature in Skydemon too?
Thank you.

For quick MET readouts I use the AeroWeather app. It calculates DA.
Most POHs have a PA/DA conversion chart at the beginning of section 5. Cruise performance charts can be used for it as well.
As mentioned by T67M above, unless T/O/climb/LDG performance calculations are made in SD as well, you still have to open your POH. Displaying only the DA without the rest is only semi-useful.

What you need for them is (generally) pressure altitude, and that's trivial to obtain with no calculation whatsoever (set 1013.25 in the Kohlsmann Windows and read the altimeter).

It's easier to set the field elevation and read the PA in the window. Potato potato.
