What is ground effect? What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance? Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. It increases takeoff performance.

This broad scope approach is ultimately needed to help keep our friends, created in the image of God, alive. This approach gives perspective on all factors, including those that might otherwise be ignored or unrecognized.

At 5:12 pm, 5 hours and 12 minutes into the flight, Shmulik was 10 miles north of the airport of Meeker, CO at an altitude of 14,300 ft, when he decided to turn south, back towards Rifle, ~45 miles away. Less than 20 minutes later he was about 9 miles north of Rifle at an altitude of 10,000 ft, continuing south and preparing to land.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. Resist pulling back, instead letting it accelerate in ground effect (or should we say water effect) for a few seconds.
