When using baro-VNAV with an aircraft that does not have an automated temperature compensating function, pilots should plan to use the appropriate minima and/or IAP. (a) The LNAV/VNAV line of minima on an RNAV (GPS) may not be used ... without an approved automated temperature compensating function if the temperature is outside of the baro-VNAV temperature range limitation. The LNAV minima may be used. (b) The RNAV (RNP) procedure may not be accomplished without an approved automated temperature compensating…

Cold Temperature Airport Procedures a. PILOTS MUST NOT MAKE AN ALTIMETER CHANGE to accomplish an altitude correction. Pilots must ensure that the altimeter is set to the current altimeter setting provided by ATC in accordance with ... altitudes on all designated segment(s) to all runways for all published instrument approach procedures when the reported airport temperature is at or below the published CTA temperature on the approach plate. A pilot may request an altitude correction…

During evaporation, water absorbs 2,501 J/g due to the latent heat of vaporization. Condensation, the reverse process, releases 2,501 J/g back to the environment. Sublimation is the phase transition by which a solid is changed to a vapor ... During sublimation, water absorbs 2,834 J/g due to the latent heat of sublimation. Deposition, the reverse process, releases 2,834 J/g back to the environment. Table 6-1 lists the latent heat exchanges of water. Table 6-1. Latent…
