Does Departing In The Morning With Lower Density Altitude Really Help?

Welcome to the first day of our summer flying series! You asked. We answered.

 


If you leave in the morning when the temperature is cooler and density altitude is lower, does it really make a difference in your performance?

We run the numbers, and look at the effects of density altitude both on paper, and in real life.

App Store Review:
These guys have been making professional level content for years now. Extremely knowledgeable and clear instruction about sometimes confounding aviation concepts. Most of their content has been free on YouTube and helped countless pilots pass their airline interviews, myself included. Recently purchased their mountain flying course and I'm blown away how well they understand and present potentially life saving knowledge about how to predict avoid and even fly through a mountain wave if you get caught. If you think about how much this level of instruction would cost one on one, let alone if you could find someone at this level to give you the time, it's a no brainer. If you like to fly and you don't like dying, check out their free stuff and when you're convinced, invest in yourself.

This is a small company with real people who are active in the aviation community and are truly working each day to make us better and safer with really top-notch content.

I have been flying for 20 years and have 1,700 hours. I felt my landings recently were actually getting worse! I needed to get back to the basics and re-learn everything that is happening when landing and then go out a practice. I'm not done yet, but I am definitely headed in the right direction. Colin has a very positive encouraging attitude that translates into us feeling good about learning and flying. Great stuff for pilots young and old!

App Store Review:
Loving the course so far. I found Bold Method when I was working on my instrument rating and the videos were a game changer for me. I purchased some of the courses to freshen up on some areas before my commercial checkride, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well done the courses are. There's really nothing like them that I've found.
