Thats our limitation on the EMB and with all the hot wx up there last week we were forced to stop flying when temps go 40*C and up. What are the limitations on the CRJs?
 
Dispatch says +40, so it must be OK.
 
ISA is 15 degrees at sea level and decreases 2 degrees every 1000 feet. Denver is 5431 feet above sea level. The easy way is to set the altimeter to 29.92 and read what it says. If it's 5431 then use 5500. At 5500 feet ISA is 4 degrees. (15 - 11 = 4). Your temperature limit for take off would be 39 degrees. ISA + 35. (4 + 35 = 39).
 
Can anyone explain why it is ISA+35? it seems pretty standard among manufactures. If I recall in the EMB120 it was the EFIS tubes as the non-EFIS models had a higher max temp?
