Warmer skies are calling. So for today’s Pilot Tools & Tips, we’ve prepared some pertinent summer preflight info.

The best summer flights start with smarter preflight planning. Save this for later, share your favorite summer flying tips, and check out further details on Density Altitude here: https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/active-pilots/safety-and-technique/weather/density-altitude

These two lightweight aircraft may serve very different purposes, but that didn’t stop us from putting their performance to the test.
