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. Terry |

Maybe you're flying too close to the ground. Tony P. |

Do you fly? 109F on the ground would be at or near 100F at 3,000. That's still hot, especially with the sun beating on you through the windows. Yeah, appox 3 degrees per 1000ft would hold up in a homogenous air column. But I don't think that's necessarily the case everywhere. For example, here in Florida I have noticed that even in summertime when it's oppressively hot and humid at the surface, there seems to be an abrupt drop in temperature around 3000 to 4000 ft. That's the only reason I picked the 3000 ft. number. Maybe that's not the case in less humid climes. In wintertime (typically less humid) it just gets colder and colder from the ground up to over 20000 where my experience ends in an unpressurized environment although I've heard it definitely gets even colder.:-) If it's still too hot at 3000 feet just go higher till you cool off! You're in an airplane! Tony P. |
