Course Description

At first, you will learn an overview of aerodynamics, structure and equipments of the airplane. Then, you will learn how airplane maneuvers and how you control airplane. Finally, you will learn a variety of knowledge that the pilot must keep know, airports, radio, weight center of gravity, operating limitations, performance, weather, navigation, and other summary of things.

Course Objectives

In order to control the fixed-wing aircraft, the pilot must have extensive knowledge not only aerodynamic characteristics and steering method. To design and manufacture the aircraft, it is essential to see the aircraft in the pilot point of view. This course will aim to learn its entirety.

Grading Policy

It depends on the final exam (100%).
I will give feedback on the previous review in each lecture.

Requirements(Assignments)

It is essential to prepare textbooks and reference books and summarize the main points in notes. (1.5 hours)
Lectures will be conducted in an interactive manner as much as possible, so if you prepare and take questions, you will deepen your understanding.
Also, take notes in the lecture, read the textbook again, and review. (1.5 hours)

Note

It is strongly recommended that you have already taken "Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering".
