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 Smile

Nice feature, I also didn’t realize it! :-)

How can I check if the displayed DA is based on the latest QNH and temperature or if it is outdated?.

(for good reasons, all meteorological data usually do have time stamps)

                         At the moment it's only included for larger airfields. Will it come...
