Quiz: Understanding Aircraft Performance

Flight Training Central

The result of an alteration in airflow patterns increasing induced drag about the wings of an airplane. What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance? Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. What is ground effect?

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. Start by calculating the pressure altitude.
