Density Altitude Questions about density altitude range from computing the effects of changes in air temperature to evaluating the best response in a given flight scenario. The important thing to remember with these questions is that density altitude changes inversely with altitude.

Hurghada Approach passed us off to Cairo Control and they refused to give us a direct to the first Saudi VOR WEJ at the east side of the Red Sea due to unknown reasons. We coasted into mainland of Saudi-Arabia near the WEJ VOR and continued onwards to Al Ula. And then we droned on from VOR to VOR over the desert.

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. I spent a few months researching aircraft performance and high altitude airport flying techniques. For this trip, the middle row seats were removed to make the cabin a 1st class four-seater.

An important point surrounding the creation of departure procedures is that they assume normal aircraft performance and likely will require climb gradients steeper than those to which you are accustomed so double check your takeoff performance especially at high density altitude.
