Mutt & I work for the same carrier. If, for example, the current temp is 42C, reported or forecast inversion is +8C, we enter the charts at 50C for actual/derate values (max weights & thrust). Very restrictive, but very safe. Happens often in summer, in JED, RUH, & DMM. Our carrier accepts the penalties without question.
