Principles of Flight
This focused online course is built for aviation enthusiasts, aspiring pilots, and current flyers who want a clear, structured, and exam-aligned mastery of why aircraft fly and how they are controlled. Designed around the official EASA Private Pilot Licence (A) Principles of Flight syllabus, it delivers exactly what every PPL(A) holder must know and apply in the real world. You'll build a deep understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft behaviour, including:
- Lift, drag, thrust, and weight — the four forces and how they interact in flight
- Aerofoil theory, angle of attack, and the boundary layer
- Stability and control — longitudinal, lateral, and directional axes
- Control surfaces — ailerons, elevators, rudder, flaps, and trim
- Stalls, spins, and recovery — recognition, causes, and prevention
- High-speed flight effects and the impact of load factor on aircraft performance
Delivered through high-quality video lessons narrated by active airline pilots, supported by clear structured notes and progress tests, this course helps you truly understand — and remember — the physics that keep aircraft in the air.
