Things to remember in very hot weather

Pilots are taught about density altitude in their training, and the
POH documents aircraft performance as well. Competent pilots give
consideration to conditions related to their flying all the time.
Freezing rain or embedded thunderstorms would certainly raise the
discomfort level for this pilot more than would temps 100 degrees F.

Oh. I said pilot. Maybe that's the difference.

Not necessarily. Heat kills more readily than cold.

Oh, I LOVE this. A sim player is telling me, a real card carrying
pilot, that I do not necessarily worry more about flying when there is
freezing rain and embedded thunderstorms than I do about flying when
it's hot? Would you rather fly when there's freezing rain in the
forecast, or embedded thunderstroms, than when it's over 43 C?

Since you're telling me what I should think, why not tell me what I
thing about your opinion?

I wouldn't be imprudent enough to fly in either situation.

HA!!!!

You chose not to answer my question, so I will. I think your opinions
are worse than worthless.

I'll save you the bother of reading Anthony's response:

AnthonyWhat you think is irrelevant./Anthony

Trust me, it's all he has. Anthony would rather bloviate than honestly
answer your question.

You don't fly, moron.

Slithering like a snake again, aren't you Anthony. Fjuktjard.

So you haven't been here on the Canadian Prairies in winter, either.
Every winter someone will get a vehicle stuck on a country road and
try to walk a mile or two for help, in a 20-knot wind at -20C. They
don't make it. And it gets much colder than that sometimes. Death
comes quickly. In very cold water, near freezing, an unprotected human
is unconscious in under 20 minutes and dead shortly after that, if he
doesn't drown first. I haven't heard of an unprotected human dying in
a half-hour on the desert at 45C.
