   4aplat added a post in a topic Todays lesson on Density Altitude    10 Aug 2012

   
   
   It's not only a problem of density altitude
   
   after 800 m, the aircraft just take off but it was a pain in the ass and the pilot doesn't wonder why !
   
   800 m after, at the end of the track (you can see it on the right, with a lot of water on it) it can't take altitude, and the pilot still don't wonder why
   
   3 km later, still no altitude and still no question in the pilot's mind
   
   I don't know what is a "commercial pilot" but I guess it is a professional pilot
   
   With all the grass between the track and the forest the best solution was to land in a field
   
   not in the forest !!!
   
   
   a lot of chance
   
   He could light a candle (or 2)

    transponder

    Hi all
    
    I will install a second hand Becker atc2000 a/c in my avid
    
    There's no way to add it on the dashboard and the onliest location I can use is between the foot pilot / passenger (I will have to find a new location for the radio)
    
    
    
    
    is there anyone with such an experience ?
    
    regards
