ISA is one of the most important concepts in aviation—but often misunderstood.

In this episode of our Basic Aeronautical Knowledge (BAK) Series, we explain how ISA provides a baseline for temperature, pressure, and air density, and why pilots rely on it for flight performance and safety.

📘 What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✅ What is ISA – Why aviation uses a standard atmosphere model

✅ Atmospheric Composition – What air is made of and why it matters

✅ Air Density – How altitude, temperature, and humidity affect flight

✅ Aircraft Performance – How ISA impacts engines, lift, and drag

✅ ISA at Sea Level – Standard temperature, pressure, and lapse rates

✅ Real-World Uses – How ISA helps with altimeter settings and performance calculations

🎓 Perfect for student pilots, PPL theory prep, and aviation enthusiasts who want to understand the science behind how aircraft perform.
