Things to remember in very hot weather

What are the main things I have to give special consideration to when
preparing to fly in very hot weather (43° C)?

If you don't know the answer to this question, you should not be flying.

If you are playing with MSFS (as I suspect) you should ask this question on
a group that has members familiar with how Microsoft simulates atmospheric
conditions.

Most people don't fly in extremely hot weather.

If by "most people" you mean the majority of the people in the world,
you are correct.

If by "most people" you mean the people who live in warm climates
don't fly in hot weather, you are wrong.

I didn't qualify the term, so I mean most people in the world. Someone who
always flies in moderate weather might easily forget the special precautions
that must be taken in extremely hot weather, which invalidates the assertion
that people (pilots) who don't know the answer to my question should not be
flying.

Likewise, someone who flies in a desert climate where icing and rain are
rarely issues might easily forget the special precautions that apply in such
conditions.

Wrong again, fjuktjard.

You like the important of wearing underwear that can absorb butt sweat
without getting sticky or riding up your crack? Max always forgets
that one, the thoughtless *******.

I got shaved the other day. Now I'm smooth and soft. Do you shave
your butt?

This is mind boggling. It is like dealing with an extra terestrial
who has come to earth, after having watched and assimilated the entire
series of Gilligans Island as his only earthly experience.
But I supose it is a perfectly understandable statement to make in
that context. But no, pilots dont forget special precautions just
because they dont fly in certain conditions, because no matter where
they live the weather varies, enough that a pilot has to understand
the effects of variation whether it is from -20 to +20 or +20 to +
50 C and it is one of the most critically assessed components of their
training, because it can kill you ( well not you , but real pilots)
Density of air ( I and others have already tried to explain that to
you) effects lift and engine performance, the denser the better.
hotter weather generally means less dense , but not always, which is
why we look at combined effect of pressure and temperature, which
gives density. We have tools in our airplanes , ie a thermometer and
an altimeter to guage the density. You could use a thermometer and a
barometer in your apartment if you wanted to calculate the density and
check it vs your Barrons performance chart, but you would have to
believe what the scientific community accepts as fact , that you can
calculate the density in the atmosphere ( even your apartment ) from
the ideal gas law, from pressure and temperature. Density can
have a big effect on take off roll and climb gradient acheivable, thus
the CRITICAL importance of performance ( takeoff and landing )charts,
if you dont want to crash your Barron into obstacles at the end of the
runway. Some aircraft may suffer from overheating on very hot days.
Fuel burn is also a function of density altitude, and this is where
flight manuals come in handy. Pilots also need to understand
conditions that can lead to icing either structural or carburetor,
icing can happen anywhere in the world including desert
environments.

Oh and if you think rain is not an issue in the desert , go an read
about VIRGA.

Since you clarify it in that manner--most people don't fly in average
weather.

This knowledge is required for a private pilot in the USA. I suspect it's
similar for other countries as well. Someone who doesn't know this either is
not a pilot, or somehow has beaten the system. In either case he/she should
not be flying.
