    Function isaTemperatureCelsius

    • Returns the ISA standard temperature in Celsius at a given pressure altitude. Applies the troposphere lapse rate below the tropopause (36,089 ft) and the constant stratosphere temperature above it (up to 65,617 ft / 20,000 m).

      Altitudes above 65,617 ft are outside the modelled range. The ISA defines a warming layer above 20,000 m, but this is not implemented here as it is beyond the operating ceiling of all practical manned and commercial aviation.

      Parameters

      • pressureAltitudeFt: number

        Pressure altitude in feet.

      Returns number

      ISA standard temperature in degrees Celsius.
