Hi Tony,
Apart from matching the 912UL altitude of 10,000 ft (twice), I would like to
add 'hottest take-off temperature' to your list. I've just returned from an
hours flying and it was 101 deg F when I departed. I landed just after sunset
and it was 98 deg F. Just in case you are wondering todays high was 106 deg
F. This is the 22nd day of 100+ temperatures in August.
With me on board, half tanks and 70 kt, the climb was a respectable 700 fpm
or so at 1,500 ft AGL.
Fortunately it is not particularly humid so once I got up to around 4,500
feet the air coming into the vents and exiting through the landing gear
handle slot didn't feel to bad and kept me relatively 'cool'.
