      What actually occurred on the day is it rained. Prior to the rain humidity was close to 100% and barometric pressure was low hence the DA that N_S gave.

      Those are all favorable conditions.
      The track (airstrip) that we ran at was Mtubatuba Airfield which is about 220kms from Durban.
      Elevation is 295ft.

      This is the historic weather data from the day.

      My best run was at 14h25, you do the calculations and tell me what DA you get.
