Never preheat the airplane cabin before boarding due to accumulation of moisture on the instruments. How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? Frost will cause the airplane to become airborne with a higher angle of attack, decreasing the stall speed. Melt frost from the control surfaces.
