Ah, the Lake Tahoe Airport. That is where I finished off my 
qualifications for high performance aircraft in mountainous terrain. As 
I recall the Beachcraft Bonanza was topped of with fuel with three on 
board and was in the hot 95+ F degrees. At least as I recall it the 
pressure altitude was around 10,000 feet. We used 5000 feet of the 
seven thousand foot runway. At 11:00 AM that same morning we used 90% 
of Mammoth's shorter runway. I watched a Citobria use all 100% of the 
Mammoth Airport to get into the air right after we took off.

So are you going to make this app available for hot pilots?
