Your aircraft will perform as if it's at a field 1,700 ft high
on a standard ISA day — that's +1,653 ft above
EGSC's actual elevation.

Approximate using ~10% perf loss / 1,000 ft DA for normally aspirated, scaled by powerplant type. Verify with your aircraft's POH for accurate numbers — especially above 5,000 ft DA where these rules of thumb diverge.
