Course Description

This course explores the performance of aircraft powered by turboprop and jet engines. Topics covered include performance associated with various phases of flight, speeds, variables and the impact of aerodrome limitations on aircraft performance. Further, this course of study will provide the student with an understanding of the performance characteristics of modern reciprocating, turbo- prop, and/or jet-powered airplanes. Students will acquire a knowledge of weight and balance; takeoff and cruise control; and airplane performance charts and curves, from which they will extract data that maximize performance.
