F) temperature at an ambient pressure of 950 millibar (about 722 mm Hg) and an absolute volumetric humidity of three percent (28.5 millibar in this case), then actual horsepower produced engine would be about 217 hp.

Humidity vs. horsepower: humid air reduces horsepower in high density-altitude situations, but you can increase your pressure altitude assumption, then compute DA, to compensate

Keep in mind that this formula calculates the actual horsepower required and leaves no margin for drive overloads, so it is necessary to add the percentage of additional power you feel comfortable with.
