Summary: In order to be a competent pilot, one must develop a thorough understanding of how and why a plane flies, as well as the forces that affect the flight of an aircraft. This video gives viewers just that. It outlines the forces of Lift and Gravity on an aircraft and goes on to describe how different structures on the plane are used to control these forces. Experts on aeronautics and flight give...

Summary: For a long time, aviation experts and pilots thought aircraft couldn’t fly faster than the speed of sound. They believed there was a point where the plane and pilot would just explode! They called it the sound barrier. In 1947, Chuck Yeager proved that to be untrue, and in 2012, a skydiver broke the sound barrier without a plane to fly in! From the challenges of airplane technology to daredevil...

Summary: Mastery of how the concepts of weight and balance relate to an airplane are absolutely essential to safe flight. In this program, a flying instructor explains how to answer two crucial preflight questions: is the airplane's weight within the manufacturer's maximum allowable gross weight, and is the actual center of gravity within the manufacturer's allowable center of gravity range. The...
