2.1 Aerodynamics

• Identify the four forces of flight:
  - Lift, Weight, Thrust, Drag
• Describe aerofoil interaction with airflow
  - Lift generation / aerodynamic force
  - Angle of attack (AOA)
  - Ground effect
• Describe aerodynamic stall:
  - Causes of stalls
  - Symptoms of stalls
  - Stall recovery
• Describe aerodynamic spin:
  - Stages of spins
  - Spin recovery
• Describe aerodynamic stability:
  - Centre of Gravity and Centre of Pressure, and how they affect stability
  - Static and dynamic stability

2.2 Control of Motion (Aeroplane / Rotorcraft / Powered-lift / Airship)

• List the axes of motion and describe how an aircraft changes its attitude:
  - Lateral axis (pitch)
  - Longitudinal axis (roll)
  - Vertical axis (yaw)
• Describe the function of the main control surfaces and the directions of deflection with respect to the axes of motion:
  - Ailerons (roll)
  - Elevator (pitch)
  - Rudder (yaw)
• Understand the purpose of trimming the aircraft
