International Standard Atmosphere in
which: The air is a dry perfect gas; The
temperature at sea level is 15° Celsius (59°
Fahrenheit); The pressure at sea level is
29.92 inches Hg (1013.2 mb); The tempera-
ture gradient from sea level to the altitude
at which the temperature is -56.5°C
(-69.7°F) is -0.00198C (-0.003564°F) per
foot and zero above that altitude.
Outside Air Temperature is the free air
static temperature, obtained either from
inflight temperature indications or ground
meteorological sources, adjusted for
instrument error and compressibility
effects.
