But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. It was 87° F, a density altitude of 7300 feet and we ended up with four people, 120 gallons plus baggage, and we got off in 2400 feet with naturally aspirated engines. “We just fly the thing around at 1000 feet, so the ceiling, we don’t know.
