recently during a landing at fairbanks/alaska I noticed a strong temp inversion,which basically would have been resulted in a too high altitude if we would have added a temp correction because of cold wx on the ground.

my colleague told me this is quite common in alaska/canada,I was wondering if somebody from that region could comment on that.

I don't see much sense in adding a correction on the DA,since the difference would even in extreme circumstations be minor,am I wrong?

cheers
