Re: low temperature correction

Its the middle of a winters night here and the temp is +20°C, so I can safely say that cold weather ops are not our thing

Question came up regarding why the correction must be applied to the takeoff (performance) acceleration height, the understanding being that as the altimeter read the correct altitude prior to takeoff, how could it be so wrong within the first 1000 feet?

Anyone care to explain?
