Course description
The Flight Mechanics and Avionics course examines the interaction between vehicles and the atmosphere. Problems in this area include producing more efficient designs, improving the control systems for aircraft, and reducing aircraft instability. The course covers aircraft performance during take-off, climb, level flight and landing. Aircraft stability and static equilibrium are considered, including the effects of components, aircraft control surfaces and devices, and trimmed equilibrium condition and its effect on performance. This course will also address how guidance and navigation instruments and systems are used in aircraft.
