I didn't say "don't ask questions", just that the axiom "you need to learn to walk before you run" seems to apply. To grasp complex concepts and ideas in most disciplines, a fundamental level of knowledge is helpful (if not mandatory).

Do you think the max/reduced thrust discussion would be easier with a firm grasp of density altitude? There's a good reason that training programs use the building block technique.

So 50°C....

No! I am 14 years old and not at all a pilot! That's my dream!

Thanks a lot
Good for you for asking, but I suggest you do some reading to get the most out of your time on the subject. Read the FAA (free) publication "The Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge"
https://www.faa.gov/regulations_poli...ilot_handbook/

It's free, and will fill-in a lot of gaps you have. Good luck!
