International Standard Atmosphere

A model of the ICAO International Standard Atmosphere, based upon the US Standard Atmosphere 1976.
Validated up to 85Km.
A couple of useful rules of thumb can be seen at the lower atmospheric levels.
  • 1" pressure decrease per 1000ft, so you can expect to lose 1" per 1000ft
    once at wide open throttle on a normally aspirated piston engine.
  • Pressure decreases .5PSI per 1000ft appoximately.
