Student Learning Outcomes

• Calculate aircraft performance data necessary for takeoff and landing, and cross-country flight.
• Explain the principles of flight and aerodynamics as they relate to high-performance aircraft.
• Students completing the course will be able to compute takeoff and landing data.
• Describe the objective, procedures, and common errors of the Commercial Pilot flight maneuvers.
• Students will be able to compute weight and balance calculations that include 'weight shift' and 'weight change' problems
• Diagram the basic fuel system of a single-engine aircraft and relate the function of individual components to the overall system.
• Appraise takeoff decisions based on computed aircraft weight and balance, including center of gravity and the aircraft's safe operating limitations.
