What Does OGE Stand For?
OGE stands for Out Of Ground Effect
OGE, or Out Of Ground Effect, refers to the flight condition of a rotorcraft or aircraft when it is operating at altitudes greater than the height at which ground effect influences its aerodynamic performance. In this state, the aircraft experiences a decrease in lift and increased induced drag, as the supportive cushion of air created by flying close to the ground is no longer present. Understanding OGE conditions is crucial for pilots during takeoff and landing phases, particularly in ensuring adequate performance and safety.
