Air density is criticial to aircraft performance, which is why it 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	surprises me that both Piper and Cessna Landing performance charts show the climbout weight limit as a function of pressure height and not density height. As I understand it ( at least from Australian Regs) the aircraft needs to have a minimum climb gradient of 3.2% in the event of a go around being required. Surely the achievable climb out gradient must be density ht dependant. I dont think I have a problem with the the understanding of what pressure and density hts are and how to determine them, but I cant reconcile my understanding of what they are with the performance chart. .Am I missing something here?
