    The document contains tables with data on pressure, altitude, and their relationship. It shows how atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, with pressure dropping off more sharply at higher altitudes. A mathematical formula is also provided to calculate altitude from pressure ratios or vice versa, taking into account sea level pressure and the effect of altitude on pressure.

    The Maths
    Altitude = (10^(log(P/P_0)/5.2558797)-1/(-6.8755856*10^-6)

    Where P = is atmospheric pressure at Altitude and


    P_0 = the Sea Level pressure
    Altitude is in feet
    P & P_0 are unit independent and expressed as a ratio

    The Maths
    Pa = Po (1 - 6.87535*10-6Hc)^5.2561
    where Pa is the air pressure at altitude Hc at a given sea level pressure Po and where ^5.2561
    means "raised to the power of 5.2561”.
