Module 1: Principles of Flight

• The four forces of flight: Lift, Weight, Thrust, Drag

Key Concepts:

• Bernoulli's Principle: Pressure difference causes lift
• Newton's Third Law: Action and reaction
• Stability and control (pitch, roll, yaw)

Memory Aid:

• "Lily Was Tired Dancing": Lift, Weight, Thrust, Drag
• For Bernoulli's Principle: "Fast Air = Low Pressure" (FALP)

Exam Tips:

<aside> 💡

• Focus on how increased angle of attack affects both lift and drag
• Yaw control: rudder; pitch: elevator; roll: ailerons </aside>

Module 2: Aircraft Technical and General

Key Concepts:

• Aircraft structure: fuselage, wings, landing gear
• Engines: piston and turbine engines
• Systems: electrical, hydraulic, and fuel
• Flight instruments: altimeter, airspeed indicator, heading indicator
• Weight and balance

Memory Aid:

• "Can Pilots Always Land?": Controls, Propulsion, Aircraft Systems, Landing Gear
