<p>1. Introduction to Flight Safety: Purpose of this chapter is to make the students aware of rules of conduct around and inside the aircraft, as well as being able to assess emergency situations and evacuate the aircraft if necessary.<br />
2. Drag and Aircraft Performance: Purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to the role of aerodynamic drag on aircraft flight performance via indirect measurements in flight<br />
3. Assessment of Longitudinal Static and Manoeuvre Stability: Purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to problems of airplane stability and manoeuvre capability via a flight test that involves gathering of data and data analysis (example: aircraft trim, static stability margins).<br />
4. Longitudinal Dynamic Stability: Purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to problems of dynamic longitudinal stability, such as short period of oscillation and the phugoid.<br />
5. Lateral-Directional Dynamic Stability: Purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to problems of lateral stability, such as Dutch roll mode and the spiral model.</p><p> </p>
