Which combination of conditions produces the highest density altitude, and therefore the greatest reduction in small UA performance?
Why: The Remote Pilot Study Guide states that "the conditions that result in a high density altitude are high elevations, low atmospheric pressures, high temperatures, high humidity, or some combination of these factors," and that as density altitude increases, aircraft performance decreases.
Describes the opposite combination — the study guide identifies these as the conditions that produce low density altitude and the best performance, not the worst.
Mixes a high-density-altitude factor (high elevation) with two low-density-altitude factors (high pressure, low temperature), producing a combination the guide does not identify as the worst-case condition.
