Welcome to Module 3 of the Learn to Fly! series, based on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's Private Pilot Certificate general knowledge base. Now that you've mastered the basics of controlling an airplane in all phases of flight, as well as learned all about the aviation environment, it is time to really get to know how your aircraft functions, and what to do if it malfunctions. Using diagrams, videos, actual aircraft operating manuals, and our flight simulator, the instructor will lead you through a tour of the main aircraft systems--fuel system, electric system, oil system, and pitot-static system. Several scientific and mechanical principles will be explained and discussed throughout this exploration. The class will then work through many emergency scenarios involving these systems, and the procedures used to solve them. Where appropriate, emergency situations will be demonstrated and practiced in the simulator--you will get to apply the procedures and system knowledge! The course will then cover aircraft performance calculations, allowing you to calculate the answers to many real-world flight planning questions such as: How fast will I burn through my fuel? What is the farthest distance I can fly? How long will it take me to reach my cruising altitude? And more! Students will graduate with a solid understanding of the workings of an aircraft and how to get the most out of it while being safe.
