Humidity alone is usually not considered an important factor in calculating density altitude and helicopter performance; however, it does contribute. There are no rules-of-thumb or charts used to compute the effects of humidity on density altitude, so you need to take this into consideration by expecting a decrease in hovering and takeoff performance in high humidity conditions.
HIGH AND LOW DENSITY ALTITUDE CONDITIONS
You need to thoroughly understand the terms “high density altitude” and “low density altitude.” In general, high density altitude refers to thin air, while low density altitude refers to dense air. Those conditions that result in a high density altitude (thin air) are high elevations, low atmospheric pressure, high temperatures, high humidity, or some combination thereof. Lower elevations, high atmospheric pressure, low temperatures, and low humidity are more indicative of low density altitude (dense air). However, high density altitudes may be present at lower elevations on hot days, so it is important to calculate the density altitude and determine performance before a flight.
One of the ways you can determine density altitude is through the use of charts designed for that purpose. [Figure 8-1]. For example, assume you are planning to depart an airport where the field elevation is 1,165 feet MSL, the altimeter setting is 30.10, and the temperature is 70°F. What is the density altitude? First, correct for nonstandard pressure (30.10) by referring to the right side of the chart, and subtracting 165 feet from the field elevation. The result is a pressure altitude of 1,000 feet. Then, enter the chart at the bottom, just above the temperature of 70°F (21°C). Proceed up the chart vertically until you intercept the diagonal 1,000foot pressure altitude line, then move horizontally to the left and read the density altitude of approximately 2,000 feet. This means your helicopter will perform as if it were at 2,000 feet MSL on a standard day.
Most performance charts do not require you to compute density altitude. Instead, the computation is built into the performance chart itself. All you have to do is enter the chart with the correct pressure altitude and the temperature.
WEIGHT
Lift is the force that opposes weight. As weight increases, the power required to produce the lift needed to compensate for the added weight must also increase. Most performance charts include weight as one of the variables. By reducing the weight of the helicopter, you may find that you are able to safely take off or land at a location that otherwise would be impossible. However, if you are ever in doubt about whether you can safely perform a takeoff or landing, you should delay your takeoff until more favorable density altitude conditions exist. If airborne, try to land at a location that has more favorable conditions, or one where you can make a landing that does not require a hover.
In addition, at higher gross weights, the increased power required to hover produces more torque, which means more antitorque thrust is required. In some helicopters, during high altitude operations, the maximum antitorque produced by the tail rotor during a hover may not be sufficient to overcome torque even if the gross weight is within limits.
