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. You may even land short or, in the worst case, stall at low altitude.

Show Low Airport sits at an altitude of 6,415 feet. I calculated the density altitude that day to be 8,800 feet. miles short of the runway threshold, it crashed into trees. It seemed to the friend he had “little or no training on leaning the engine.” At the time of the crash, the temperature was 77 degrees.
