What Is Thermal Inversion and How Does Inversion Affect Your Aircraft Performance.

In today's video, we are going to talk about Thermal Inversion. According to the ICAO Standard Atmosphere the temperature drops with the altitude, thus when you are climbing with your aircraft you expect the temperature to go down. When you encounter a Thermal Inversion you will notice the temperature will increase with the Altitude. You can find this phenomenon when you are flying in the proximity of a Warm Front for example, where the Warm air mass climbs above the cold air mass, thus the warm air will be above the cold air. The temperature inversion will affect your aircraft performance negatively, since the higher the temperature the worse your aircraft performance. I flew many times through a Thermal Inversion and I can tell you that the performance was not affected that much however, this phenomenon will affect you a lot more when taking off with limiting performance. So, let's say you have limiting performances and then an Engine Failure happens, in this case, a thermal inversion can play a big role in your single-engine departure. 👇If you want to get 1 to 1 coaching check the link below👇: https://pilotclimb.com/product/pilot-... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you feel like supporting the PILOTCLIMB channel with a donation you can send a PayPal or a crypto transaction to the addresses below: PayPal address: https://www.paypal.me/PilotClimb BTC address: 3DMaWztGYufX9WH33hSVNouwVpMEBA6m1t ETH address: 0x486fcA0234e2950D2068d1171379F5Efb36B911A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 👇To watch the video regarding Vmcg click the link below👇    • Vmcg (Minimum Control Ground) - [Why You S...   👇To watch the video regarding Missed Approach click the link below👇    • Missed Approach Procedure Explained by a B...   👇To watch the video regarding the TORA, TODA, ASDA, and, LDA click the link below👇    • TORA TODA ASDA LDA Explanation - [Stopway,...   👇If you want to learn how to decode a METAR click the link below👇    • How To Decode a METAR Report- [Airline Pil...   👇To watch the video about the Displaced Threshold click the link below👇    • Displaced Threshold Explained - [Deep Dive...   #PILOTCLIMB Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:38 What is Thermal Inversion 01:44 How does Thermal Inversion affects your climb performance 03:22 Temperature and Pressure Relationship 05:35 Atmpshere heating and warm front. ============================================================== Disclaimer: THIS VIDEO IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
