Hot n' High - what to expect
California beckons this summer and the school we're renting from doesn't seem to require a high elevation airfield checkout (at least if you've got over 100 hours).
This seems rather odd as I've heard all about the nasties of operating into and out of airfields with a high density altitudes so I was wondering if fellow Ppruners could offer some advice.
I understand it is mainly the poor take off and climb performance and increased groundspeed on take-off and landing that are the dominant issues, but having never landed anywhere high just don't know. Any advice will be welcome....
