Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Although density altitude is not a common subject for “hangar flying” discussions, pilots need to understand this topic. Density altitude has a significant (and inescapable) influence on aircraft and engine performance, so every pilot needs to thoroughly understand its effects. Hot, high, and humid weather conditions can cause a routine takeoff or landing to become an accident in less time than it takes to talk about it.
The airman certification standards (ACS) require all pilots to exhibit satisfactory knowledge and risk management associated with effects of environmental elements on airplane performance related to various maneuvers (e.g., turbulence, micro-bursts, and high-density altitude).
