You´re right-DA, not PA (typo).....standard is somewhat around 8000-9000 ft...

Wilson (from where the aircraft is launching) is even higher at almost 5600 feet....Temperatures are usually at around 26-28° (at time of accident, 26° were reported).

Lets assume the were at 1000 ft at 26°, they were just below 10.000 ft DA....
Hmmm. Using the actual met from Wilson yesterday and assuming the aircraft was about 1,000 feet agl, it's closer to 8,400 feet DA
