Quote "The higher the temperature gets, the less dense the air which means that the engine will produce less power for a given MP. However, as you climb and the pressure decreases, you do not lose any MP or intake air density because the engine is derated"
Well you just answer my question with the same words and it still doesnt make since. "the higher the temp gets the less dense the air which means the engine will produce less power for a given MP" AGREED
"However, as you climb and the pressure decreases *less dense air* you do not lose any MP or intake air density (well yes you do because the air is less dense) because the engine is derated * well if they are both making the intake air less dense then why does the chart run opposite ways???
Some one has to have a good explaination for this...please
