Temperature Inversions

[mutt]

The general answer to any question about Temperature Inversions is that they are not a factor unless you encounter them combined with the following:

High Elevation Airport.
High Ambient Temperatures.
High TOW
Engine failure at V1


A number of you operate to RUH where in the last week temperature Inversions of +16° were recorded.

What are your policies to account for this phenomenon?

Happens all the time in the Gulf as well, Mutt. Policy is, to have the F/E watch the TAT like a hawk. No F/E you say, whoops then the NFP has to watch. Just one more thing to do, and really should not be a problem if expected.
