Q
Density altitude
A
Density altitude = Airfield Altitude + 1000’ per 8 deg above ISA.
High density altitude = High TAS = High Energy
Expect higher than normal ROD (5xG/S)
Consider brake energy / flap setting / reverse thrust.
Deceleration can take more than 50% more track miles. - Good rule of thumb.
