Hi,

With the very high temperatures we have in West Europe this week, I've realized that the almost only information I don't have in Skydemon is a density altitude calculator. I do not speak about implementing a complete performance calculator (this is not what I expect from SD), but a gentle calculator with a clear marking of the density altitude for a specific place (METAR-based) could be a gentle reminder that reviewing the performance tables is not optional.

Today, due to the temperature, taking-off from my usual airfield would have been very challenging

It makes sense to me, but this thread hasn't had much activity in the last three years.

i think its a good idea:
show always DA below pressure altitude in the airport information sheet
the conclusion from that information must every pilot derive by themself based on airplane performance, loading, runway length, runway slope, surrounding terrain

I would also like to see the current DA of each aerodrome in the airport tab. Please include this feature.
