Key Takeaways Air density affects aircraft performance, including lift, engine power, and propeller effectiveness. High-density altitude reduces aircraft performance, requiring flight adjustments. These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. Fewer air molecules result in less dense air, which means less lift.

Plan for the Conditions During your flight planning: Look up the expected winds at your estimated arrival time. Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. A bounce or skip is likely if the aircraft lands while the wing is generating significant lift.
