In this episode you will learn:

- What density altitude truly means: it's the altitude your drone "feels" like it's at, not its actual height.

- The three factors that increase density altitude and hurt performance: high elevation, high temperatures, and high humidity.

- How high density altitude negatively impacts drone capabilities, leading to reduced climb rates and shorter flight times.

- A common exam trap: high humidity makes air less dense, which worsens drone performance.

- The mnemonic "HOT, HIGH, HUMID = HARD" to remember the causes and effects of high density altitude.
