FLIGHT WORK
LESSON 2 – Four fundamentals of flight
Dual – ground: 0.5, flight: 1.0
Objective: Introduce student to the four principals of flight, takeoff, straight and level flight, climbs, turns, and descents.
Discussion topics:
1) Lift - Weight, Thrust - Drag
2) Pitch – Roll - Yaw
3) aircraft airworthiness
Review:
1) engine starting
2) use of checklists
3) before takeoff check
4) visual scanning and collision avoidance
5) parking and securing aircraft
Introduce:
1) crosswind taxi
2) normal takeoff
3) straight and level flight to include use of trim
4) aircraft configuration changes
5) speeds associated with use of flaps
6) normal approach and landing
Completion standards:
1) smooth engine start (no excessive engaging of starter)
2) student can explain run-up procedures using checklist
3) increased proficiency with preflight procedures and ground operations
