Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance? What is the headwind component for a landing on Runway 18 if the tower reports the wind as 215° at 30 knots? 1,300-foot increase.
