Grand Canyon and Las Vegas
Hi, we are planning atrip to Grand Canyon (KGCN) and Las Vegas Henderson (KHND). We will fly PiperArcher II – 2 adults and 2 children. I am little bit worried about KGCN, asdensity altitude is there something about 9.700ft. It’s absolutely out of anygraphs in Piper’s Information Manual. When I interpolate the graphs, it lookslike running length for take-off will be nearly 4000ft and climbing rate willbe 150ft/m. When considering the aircraft is quite old and graphs are for newone, I am not sure it’s doable. Does anybody of you have any personalexperience at Grand Canyon under similar conditions? Any hint will be welcome.
