Great thread, my thoughts take me back a couple of days ago on a trip to a high altitude destination (6200ish), my first time there, my focus of attention was centered around the approach, expected gate, single engine maneuver. Well anyway, never considered once that there may be a performance problem on a nice (26C)day. Didn't have to defuel but it was very close (all other destinations at sea level), wasn't doing a very good job on my
SA.
