Airport News: Due to the increased temperature in Bhopal, an Indigo Airlines aircraft could not take off on time on Friday evening. This aircraft was to depart from Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport at 5:50 pm for Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Shortly after the boarding of all 72 passengers in the aircraft was completed, the passengers were informed that the aircraft cannot take off from there due to the outside temperature.
The captain of the aircraft said, “This flight is delayed. Our flight is delayed due to engine performance because the temperature outside is very high, due to which the engine performance is restricted to a great extent. In such a situation, we can carry only a certain amount of weight.” In such a situation, the question is what is the connection between aircraft engine performance and temperature? Will the takeoff of aircrafts become difficult in this temperature?
A senior pilot told AnyTV that three components are necessary for the takeoff of any flight. First – the engine capacity of the aircraft, second – the length of the runway and third – the external temperature. Any pilot determines on the basis of these three components whether the weight of the aircraft is appropriate for takeoff or not. These three components were mainly responsible for the delay in Indigo’s flight on Friday evening.

Three major components responsible for takeoff in Bhopal
He said that the Indigo aircraft that was scheduled to take off from Bhopal airport on Friday was an ATR-72-600, which 2x PWC engines are installed. This is a small engine and its capacity is less than that of the big aircraft of Boeing and Airbus. At the same time, the length of the runway of Bhopal airport is just 2744 meters, which is about 1656 meters shorter than the runway of Delhi airport. At that time, the temperature at the airport was around 43 degrees.
How all three components became responsible for flight delays
The senior pilot said that the temperature at Bhopal airport was around 43 degrees yesterday evening. At such a temperature, the density of air starts decreasing. In such a situation, the wings need more power to lift the aircraft. The aircraft will get more power when either the engine of the aircraft is more powerful, or it runs at a very high speed for a long distance. Since the runway of Bhopal airport It is only 2744 meters long, so it was not possible for the aircraft to run at high speed for long distances.

How do we know the proper takeoff temperature of an aircraft?
The senior pilot said that the aircraft has exhaust gas temperature (EGT) signals to determine the appropriate temperature for takeoff. The EGT calculates whether takeoff is possible or not based on the current weight of the aircraft, engine capacity, runway length and temperature. He said that whenever the pilot tries to turn on the engine for takeoff, the EGT signal alerts about it. In such a situation, the takeoff is delayed for some time.
Can the aircraft take off despite these conditions?
The senior pilot said that when the runway is short, the engine capacity is low and the outside temperature is high, in such a situation the pilot has only one option left, that is to reduce the weight of the plane. This can be done in three ways. First – deboard the passengers, second – reduce the cargo load by offloading the luggage of the passengers, third – reduce the fuel of the plane. Out of these three options, the best option is to wait for some time and let the temperature come down. This will cause some trouble at that time, but everyone will be saved from big problems in the future.

This Indigo aircraft flew a total of 6 flights on Friday
Indigo Airlines aircraft The ATR-72-600 started its journey from Hyderabad on Friday morning. Its first flight was from Hyderabad to Bhopal (flight number 6E-7121). After this, the plane left from Bhopal to Allahabad (flight number 6E-7926). From Allahabad it returned to Bhopal (flight number 6E-7925) and then went to Raipur (flight number 6E-7302). From here it returned to Bhopal (flight number 6E-7371) and left for Hyderabad (flight number 6E-7122) with a delay of about an hour.
