Ground Effect is:
the result of the interference of the surface of the earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane
An aircraft flies more efficiently in:
ground effect
Ground effect may result in:
becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed
As a result of ground effect
induced drag DECREASES. A pilot must be aware that any excess speed at the point of the flare may cause considerable floating
Floating due to ground effect will be most realized during:
an approach to land when at less than the length of the wingspan above the surface
