Aircraft condensation trails (contrails) are caused by aircraft aerodynamics or engine exhaust in the proper atmospheric conditions. Engine-exhaust trails are the most common and are discussed in this report. Jet aircraft contrail-formation graphs facilitate yes-or-no forecasts for any season with forecasts of pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. Contrail probability curves give condensation trail probabilities with forecast pressure and temperature. Engine power setting does not affect contrail formation, but does affect intensity. The contrail-formation graph for propeller aircraft is similar to the jet graph.
