Never came across questions like this before (or its been way too long) and haven't a clue how to figure them out as relates to actual altitude. Any pointers or attempts to replace the blacked out lightbulb in my head would be appreciated.
"Given an indicated altitude of 10,000 ft, OAT -20C, and altimter setting 29.62. If the station elevation is 2500 ft what is your actual altitude?"
Answer: 9550 ft
My density altitude calculation comes out to 8500 ft so not sure what else I'm missing.
"At a temp of ISA -25C how much altitude should be added to the MEA."
Answer: 10%
Is there a rule of thumb I missed out on here?
