Calculate Station Pressure (Pstn)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Station Pressure (Pstn) is:

\[ Pstn = Pa \times \left( \frac{288 - 0.0065 \cdot h}{288} \right)^{5.2561} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the altimeter pressure (Pa) is 29.92 inHg, and the station height (h) is 500 meters. Using the formula:

\[ Pstn = 29.92 \times \left( \frac{288 - 0.0065 \cdot 500}{288} \right)^{5.2561} \approx 28.19 \text{ inHg} \]

So, the station pressure is approximately 28.19 inHg.
