A bit similar to the Navigation ground school course, this module introduces you to flight planning as well as determining the performance of the aircraft in different configurations and weather.
It is perhaps the most intense module when it comes to mathematical calculations. You will therefore be required to have a scientific calculator as well as a manual flight computer, commonly called the E6B.
Students learn how to safely calculate aircraft capabilities, ensuring compliance with legal limits and safety margins before and during a flight. The module focuses on practical applications of aircraft performance, such as weight and balance, fuel planning, takeoff/landing distances, and interpreting manufacturer data using graphs, tables and charts.
