FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind variable at 6 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 8,000 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 12,961 ft (field elevation 11,034 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

OUR HEADSET PICK · NOT SPONSORED

David Clark DC ONE-X

Not sponsored, just the headset we'd buy ourselves: the DC ONE-X, with hybrid noise canceling, Bluetooth, and 30+ hour battery. And David Clark's A+ customer service is the real reason we recommend them.
