How does the aircraft configuration influence take-off performance while all other parameters remaining constant?

Aircraft A has a higher flap setting than aircraft B

Aircraft B has a higher flap setting than aircraft A

How do high temperatures affect aircraft performance?

High temperatures result in low air density, thus raising density altitude and decreasing aircraft performance

High temperatures result in high air density, thus lowering density altitude and increasing aircraft performance

High temperatures result in low air density, thus lowering density altitude and decreasing aircraft performance

High temperatures result in high air density, thus raising density altitude and increasing aircraft performance

How does aircraft flap configuration influence the take-off performance?

A higher flap setting decreases ground roll and lift-off speed, but also climb performance

A higher flap setting decreases ground roll and lift-off speed and increases climb performance

A higher flap setting decreases ground roll and increases lift-off speed and climb performance

A higher flap setting increases ground roll, lift-off speed, and climb performance

How does wind affect the take-off performance?

Tailwind reduces the relative wind on the airfoil. The take-off distance will increase

Headwind causes an increased airflow around the wing. The take-off distance will increase

Headwind imposes an increased drag on the aircraft. The take-off distance will increase

Tailwind aids the aircraft in overcoming the initial drag at the commencement of the take-off roll. The take-off distance will decrease

It is possible that the surface wind speed at an airport is reduced due to friction. When a surface area with a minor tailwind condition is left during the initial climb, the pilot might expect...

a decrease in airspeed and rate of climb due to increasing tailwind.

Water on the wing may disturb the airflow, thus decreasing aircraft performance

Rain does not affect aircraft performance

Water can enter the engine cowl, thus decreasing the engine performance

Heavy rain can increase the mass of the aircraft, thus decreasing aircraft performance

Unless the aircraft is equipped and certified accordingly...

flight into known or forecast icing conditions is prohibited. Should the aircraft enter an area of icing conditions inadvertently, it should be left without delay.

flight into known or forecast icing conditions is only allowed as long as it is ensured that the aircraft can still be operated without performance degradation.
