Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at less than the length of the wingspan above the surface. What is ground effect?

We may be the best pilot ever born, but we can’t force a tired Skyhawk to climb above its genuine absolute ceiling, undefined by any performance chart. Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? But the reported ceiling was only 400 feet at the appointed hour. Probably not without some practice.
