But remember high density altitude reduces performance and therefore increases takeoff rolls, and degrades climb performance. Once in position and any crosswind corrections noted, takeoff power should be applied smoothly and continuously while holding the brakes until the maximum obtainable engine power.

Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. Full flaps, 1.3

In IFR, retract flaps at the appropriate speed above 400ft AGL. Once you have the aircraft climbing out and at a safe altitude, adjust the trim to make the aircraft easier to fly. For instance, if an aircraft is on the crosswind leg, they’ll ask you to extend the upwind If you don’t have the time, that’s okay.
