These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. This actually decreases the engine’s efficiency in converting engine power into thrust. Reduced thrust means decreased aircraft performance and fuel efficiency. Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. The post What Is Air Density?

Flashes of previous 737 experience, flight training, moving all over the planet, Phoenix, Girona, Rome, Barcelona, Hong Kong, manuals, operating procedures and limitations. I see my name on the crew list, I sign in and read the flight plan, notams and weather. Cleared for takeoff! ‘Set thrust.’

The rest is just lift, drag, thrust, weather, and navigation. ForeFlight plan filing seems to work in the Bahamas and Caribbean, but you wont always receive confirmation that it was received. The tower will tell you, and if it wasnt, it will usually accept a verbal flight plan over the radio. Oh, and some money.
