I remember doing an IAH-ABQ turn last summer. I had never gone to ABQ before. I asked the captain if we needed to factor in the effects of density alt during our T/O and climb-out and the CA told me that we didn't need to worry about the effects of density alt on our airplane. However, the CA didn't elaborate. I would think density alt still effects the length of T/O roll, climbout and missed approach performance...right? Can someone please elobarte whether density alt effects our plane, etc. Thx.
