Environmental Influences on Aircraft Performance
2
What is Aircraft Performance?

• Performance is the capability of aircraft at
  various stages of its flight.
• The capability may be in terms of weight,
  altitude, speed, distances, gradient/rate of
  climb, obstacle clearance etc.

3
Some Facts

• The optimum performance of an aircraft is
  decreased when there is an increase in altitude
  or temperature.
• High humidity reduces available air for
  combustion, which leads to enriched mixture and
  eventually, reduced power.

4
Effect of Temperature
Any increase in temperature or altitude means a
decrease in the aircraft's optimum performance.
5
Effect of Humidity

• High humidity has an effect on engine power.
• The high level of water vapor in the air reduces
  the amount of air available for combustion and
  results in an enriched mixture and reduced power
