Oh, well!

Many thanks for the feedback on DA, particularly from BackPacker.

Arne – I don’t see DA on airports with METAR on aero weather. Can you point me in the right direction?

Add 1000 ft for every 8C above standard temp. IME mostly gives you a little buffer on the safe side. I use that all the time and cross-check against the METAR (around here most stations report DA) and it works a treat. In any case, if a couple of 100ft either way really make a difference then perhaps you shouldn’t be flying that day.
