2 reports on the evening news today (Boston area) on small plane
crashes. A C172M crashed at Mansfield, Ma. 4 people on board, 2
fatalities. This was on Saturday, a day that produced record high
temperatures for the area. Density altitude/overloading problem?


Were those density altitudes higher than they were in July?




maybe, maybe not. But it is irrelevant. That plane, with that low time
pilot, with that MGTW, on that day was not there in July.

Possibly, but we have 172's take off out here in the mountainous west all
summer, and we START at 5500-6000 feet, not the 100 some odd feet in MA.
