Air temperature.

I am curious about the time of the accident mid afternoon. Do you think that ground or air temperature was a factor in the accident? To me if the aircraft was around mauw a failure of power at the critical moment might have required a higher airspeed to rotate in less dense air on that day. The loss of power consequently affected the air speed and the aircraft simply would not fly.
