While calculating an aircraft’s performance, you must take into account ground effect, particularly when operating on short runways or in high-density altitude areas. So you may have to discuss and demonstrate this during your checkride. Also note that ground effect increases as you get closer to the ground.

They are also one of the most feared maneuvers during the private pilot checkride. Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes.

In IFR, retract flaps at the appropriate speed above 400ft AGL. Once you have the aircraft climbing out and at a safe altitude, adjust the trim to make the aircraft easier to fly. Private and Commercial Pilot ACS Standards During a checkride, you must perform a go-around.
