Your introduction to the world of flight, this unit delves into the fundamentals of flight principles, straight and level flying, climbing and descending, turning, and the properties of a stall.

Weather plays a critical role in flight planning and safety. This unit introduces you to atmospheric properties, cloud formation, weather phenomena, synoptic charts, forecasts and weather reports.

This unit looks at the aircraft itself, with an in-depth discussion on airframes, propellers, engine types, flight systems, and an introduction to the type and function of flight instruments.

Human factors are a crucial consideration in aviation, even as technology grows. In this session, we cover health, hearing, vision, balance, stress, fatigue, and TEM (Threat and Error Management).

There is a large range of laws that govern aviation standards and ensure public safety. We look at the regulatory structure, documentation, airspace, flight crew licencing, and rules and regulations.

Knowing how to navigate from point A to point B is key to your development as a pilot. We will discuss the theoretical aspects of time, direction, and speed, and will also look at navigation tools including maps and charts.

Understanding the performance properties of your aircraft will help you to plan flights. This unit covers ISA (International Standard Atmosphere), pressure, density, takeoff and landing performance, weight and balance.
