  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance This chapter discusses the factors that affect aircraft performance, which include the aircraft weight, atmospheric conditions, runway environment, and the fundamental physical laws governing the forces acting on an aircraft. The performance or operational information section ... performance data, as well as the meanings of the various terms used in expressing performance capabilities and limitations. Since the characteristics of the atmosphere have a major effect on performance, it is necessary to review two dominant factors—pressure…

  accidents. These notably include risks generated by weather, terrain, and night operation hazards and additionally include airports, airspace, and other environmental factors. All these hazards and risks will likely come into play at some point during the instruction process. Accordingly ... professional and personal lives. Instructors should be conscious of each learner’s schedule limitations and other external factors that could affect their performance. Instructors should also emphasize the ability to make schedule changes as needed, change training from an airplane…

  that affect performance are density altitude, weight, and wind. The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, FAA-H-8083-25 (as revised), discusses these factors in great detail. Moisture (Humidity) Humidity alone is usually not considered an important factor ... calculating density altitude and helicopter performance; however, it does contribute. There are no rules of thumb used to compute the effects of humidity on density altitude, but some manufacturers include charts with 80 percent relative humidity columns as additional information…
