  • longitudinal and lateral-directional static stability
  • longitudinal and lateral-directional dynamics
  • equations of motion
  • transfer-functions
  • control engineering
  • command and stability augmentation
  • modeling and simulation
  • flight dynamics modeling software applications
  • course studies
  • stability and flight dynamics testing
  • flight test reporting / EASA CS-23 certification compliance

Course includes about 14-16 flight test technique and data acquisition flights in various aircraft types and variable stability in-house simulator training.

Students will prepare several written and oral flight test reports which will be rated. A specific level of skills must be demonstrated by the individual student in order to successfully complete the course.
