Landing distance also increases with higher density altitude - while the
air speed indicator still might say "80" the true air speed (no wind ground
speed) is greater. The brake distance needed to stop a 100mph vehicle is
more than 2x the same vehicle going 50mph, meaning stopping distance is not
a linear function of ground speed. The distance may not be so much that
they affect the practical aspects of this thread.
