| My G5s have an OAT probe that displays density altitude while I’m on the ground until I take off. I haven’t found anything in the IFD pilot manual that mentions DA so I figured I go out on a limb and ask if the IFD has any way of displaying DA while in flight. Cheers |

On the AUX - UTIL - Calculators page, there is an Air Data Calculator. If your G5's are providing air data info to your IFD like they do in my plane, the only adjustment that may be necessary would be to adjust the BARO field manually. Density ALT is read on the lower right of the Air Data Calculator.
