“Denver is high and hot.”

Low air density doesn’t help with air cooling.

Best to be easy on the brakes in the Mountains.

It is not that air density which reduces the cooling, it is the fact that the plame has to land considerably faster because of the lower air density. A lot faster means the brakes have to be really used, and if you don’t know about that they will overheat.
