Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Back in the late summer of 2004 I applied for a job in Phoenix. At that time I was really into off-roading and belonged to a Chevy ZR2 forum. A guy from Phoenix left his ZR2 sitting on the street and went away for a week long vacation somewhere. I recall he lamented the fact that he didn't park his truck under the carport. He posted photos of how his dash got so hot the plastic actually drooped from the heat. I contacted the folks in Phoenix where I had applied and told them to remove me from the candidate list. The lady I spoke with said that I was the top contender for the job. I thanked her but insisted I be removed. I don't mind heat but that was a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Had a tempered glass dining table that I was using for a desk. I got a new desk and was taking the glass top outside until I could dispose of it. It was 78 deg inside. It was 104 deg outside! As soon as I exited the house to the patio, the glass top exploded in my hands! I was cleaning up tempered glass "nuggets" outside for a few days.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Remember a couple three years ago when they were grounding certain types of jet liners because it was over 120 and above their maximum takeoff temp? JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHC Yep the hot air is not as dense as cooler air and the aircraft cannot get enough lift/thrust to safely take off for the given length of the runway. Phoenix actually has longer runways to mitigate this issue in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps hit an all time high at Sky Harbor of 122F. All flights grounded due to the current charts at that time did not have calculations for a temperature that high.

Chas Boeing and other AC manufacturers redid their charts because of the 1990 heat wave. Now they go to 130 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
