I only look at performance charts in unusual situations (such as this one). *I
fly the same aircraft regularly and in normal situations I have a good idea
what performance to expect. *Yesterday I noted the temperature on the ramp to
be 42.9° C, and so I worried a bit about any potential problems that I might
have forgotten about that are associated with high ambient temperatures, which
is why I asked about it.

Why do you worry? Worrying to me implies some sort of sonsequences if
you screw up. Can you please elaborate on the consequences you are
worried about, I am really intrigued.
