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? What true airspeed should a pilot expect at 9,000 feet on a standard day with 65 percent maximum continuous power? 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.
