Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?
A
At sea level, when the temperature is 0 °F.
B
When the altimeter has no installation error.
C
At standard temperature.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature, so the two are equal when the temperature is standard for that pressure altitude. 0 degrees F at sea level is far below the standard 59 degrees F, and altimeter installation error has nothing to do with density altitude.
