INTRODUCTION
Today’s Mission Requirements
Mission:
• 1977: The
deadliest
accident in the
history of
aviation occurred
when two Boeing
747 airliners
collided on the
runway on the
island of Tenerife
in the Canary
Islands. 583
people died.
March 27
1968: Colonel
Yuri Alekseevich
Gagarin, Pilot-
Cosmonaut of
the Soviet Union,
was killed in the
crash of a
Mikoyan-
Gurevich MiG-
15UTI two-place
trainer near the
village of
Novoselova,
Vladamir Oblast,
Russia.

ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere is composed of 78
percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen,The density of air has significant effects on
and 1 percent other gases, such as the aircraft’s performance. As air becomes
argon or helium. Most of the oxygen is
less dense, it reduces:
contained below 35,000 feet altitude.
Power, because the engine takes in less air
Thrust, because the propeller is less
efficient in thin air
Effect of Pressure, Temperature and Lift, because the thin air exerts less force
Humidity (Moisture) on Density. on the airfoils
PERFORMANCE
to describe the ability of an aircraft to
accomplish certain things that make it
Aerodynamic useful for certain purposes.
• Low drag
• Low weight
• High pressure
• Low temperature
• High headwind
Balance Field Length
• L/D ratio
• Wind
• Runway slope
• Weight
CONCLUSION
• Performance characteristics and capabilities vary
greatly among aircraft.
• Moreover, aircraft weight, atmospheric conditions,
and external environmental factors can significantly
affect aircraft performance.
• It is essential that a pilot become intimately familiar
with the performance characteristics and
capabilities of the aircraft being flown.
• The primary source of this information is the
AFM/POH.
