Can someone explain this. Non jet driver here. I thought the EGT would be lowest at sea level due to highest air density and that EGT climbs as you climb in altitude.
The higher you go, the less air there is, which means less fuel can be burnt, which means the fire in the can isn't as big, which means the EGT reduces.
