It’s a warm summer day and you are planning a flight through a mountain pass at 11,500 feet MSL. Your aircraft’s service ceiling is 14,000 feet. You have calculated the density altitude through the mountain pass will be 14,800 feet. An appropriate course of action would be?

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport?
