Why? The reality is that these small variations really don't matter
much anyway.

On my ASA CX-2 PA=999 DA=1929

Hi,

ArtP, which version of WingX do you have? I just ran it on the latest
2.0.4.3 and WingX came up with PA=1000' and DA=1931'.

Interestingly with a dew point of 18C, WingX shows the DA going up to
2,213', that about a 300' difference not that much - would be interesting to
see how it affects the performance numbers though.

Keep well,

Hilton

My mistake. I had field elevation at 1160. At 1165, I get PA=1000' and
DA=1932'. (2.0.4.3).

And I can't type either. It should read: PA=1000' and DA=1931'.
