Knowledge of Flying is Our passion.
Serving the General Aviation Community
This chapter discusses the fundamental physical laws governing the forces acting on an airplane in flight, and what effect these natural laws and forces have on the performance characteristics of airplanes. To competently control the airplane, the pilot must understand the principles involved and learn to utilize or counteract these natural forces.
Modern general aviation airplanes have what may
be considered high performance characteristics.
Therefore, it is increasingly necessary that pilots
appreciate and understand the principles upon which
the art of flying is based.
